93.0. "Fee Structure for financial planners" by RANGER::HANNULA () Thu Mar 05 1992 13:52

Any comments or recommendations on financial planners.

We have been considering hiring one.  What are their fee structures?

We were contacted by the "Lance Financial Associates" of Woburn. 
Any comments on them specifically?

93.1Good experience with LanceSEEPO::MARCHETTIIn Search of the Lost BoardThu Mar 05 1992 19:5412
    I was very impressed with Lance Financial for a number of reasons, but
    the biggest was:
    
    The planner who came to see us decided that he could not improve on our
    current situation.  Then he offered me a job,  8-)  but that's a long
    story.
    
    I actually liked the way they are organized and conduct business.  But
    I was most impressed that they would walk away rather than try to force
    fit themselves into a situation where they would add little value.

93.2after snickering at my choice of mutual fundCSC32::K_BOUCHARDKen Bouchard CXO3-2Wed Jun 03 1992 19:136
    That's interresting and unusual! The last financial panner I saw (and
    the ones before that) said evverything was in order but *still* tried
    to sell me a mutual fund which,of course,had a front-end load and a
    commission for her.
