What is the true value of working with a Fiduciary Financial Planner?
Fiduciary Financial Planner Los Angeles weighs in.
Why seeking – and heeding – financial advice from a Fiduciary Certified Financial Planner may prove beneficial, some might even say priceless. Beyond a Fiduciary, you should also look for a Financial Advisor who offers expert tax-planning advice.
By David Rae Certified Financial Planner™, Accredited Investment Fiduciary™
You don’t have to be Einstein to see the True Value of a Fiduciary Financial Planner.
Time to face facts: You can’t control what the stock market does day to day or even year over year. But what you can control as an investor are your financial attitude and behavior. One simple way to improve your fiscal behavior is to work with a qualified fiduciary financial planner. With improved fiscal behavior, an investor is less likely to make the types of financial mistakes many people make that can sabotage their financial success.
Why is this? Well, basically, it’s because a lot of the smartest choices may feel counter-intuitive to an inexperienced or uninformed investor. A good fiduciary financial advisor, on the other hand, has been around the block a few times and is able to play the long game without getting his or her head turned by returns that seem (and are) too good to be true. A prime example of this is many people feel that regularly beating the stock market is necessary to reach their financial goals. In fact, those of us in the independent fiduciary investment advice business know that this isn’t necessarily true.
The S & P Return Gap
The prestigious financial research firm Dalbar releases a study every year called Quantitative Analysis of Investor Behavior that’s better known as just the Dalbar Study. According to their findings, from 1984 to 2013, the S&P 500 had averaged an 11.11% per year return. It sounds like great investment returns great, right? Unfortunately, the downside is the average S&P 500 investor earned just 3.69% over the same period of time.*
The truth is that very few people even come close to matching the S&P 500 returns over the long run unless their name happens to be Warren Buffett and they live in Omaha. Through the years, I’ve seen tons of people who say they only invest in an S&P fund, only to manage dragging down their returns to a much lower level than their holdings for a given period of time. Whatever “strategy” they were implementing (if any) caused them to underperform their very own investments.
Getting great Financial Planner Los Angeles guidance can help you make smart investments and financial choices over time. Vanguard has estimated the value of this financial advice to be over 3% per year; I will let you assign a value to peace of mind we can help you achieve.
Case Study Priorities from a Fiduciary Financial Planner
Let’s look at it another way. What is more important to you?
- A) Short-term bragging rights: The numerical return on your portfolio?
- B) Long-term financial security: Do you have enough money to reach your goals?
CASE STUDY A- Fiduciary Financial Advice
- I recently met with a day trader, “Genius Bob,” who bragged about the “amazing returns” he’d achieved. His wife (who initiated the meeting) quickly informed me of “Genius Bob’s” selective memory about the figures. While it was true he had doubled his money over the past 87 days (impressive), it was also true that over the past two years of full-time DYI day trading, he’s lost about 75% of his family’s life savings (NOT Impressive, not to mention the lack of any other income from elsewhere.) OUCH!
CASE STUDY B- Fiduciary Advice
- In 1984, twin sisters Sam and Pat both started out with $100,000 to invest. Sam worked with an average financial advisor, who just really didn’t offer much guidance beyond picking the initial investments. Sam got average returns of 3.69% per year, and her account grew to $286,000 by 2013. Not too shabby, considering she nearly almost tripled her money. She was pretty smug about how well she’d done until she looked at her sister Pat’s account. In contrast, Pat had professional fiduciary financial planner help, which proactively helped her avoid many of the investing mistakes and behaviors that drove down Sam’s returns. In doing so, she earned a respectable 8% return per year on average. Growing her account to about $931,000, more than triple her sister Sam’s profits.
Of course, these are just examples used for illustration and are not specifically indicative of any particular investment or situation. That being said, actual results will vary. While most of us probably fall somewhere between ‘Genius Bob” Sam or Pat when it comes to our investing behaviors, we all can improve how we handle our finances. The bottom line is that by avoiding big investing mistakes and letting compound interest work its magic, even with a return well below S&P averages, you can potentially achieve great results. A fiduciary financial planner should be able to help you avoid most of these big investing mistakes.

Time to Get Real with a Fiduciary Financial Planner
By no means am I generalizing what type of return an individual or couple’s portfolio should be delivering? The point is to develop a financial plan (including investments) that fits your specific needs and goals.
For instance, you may find that with your current assets and saving rates, you need to save 200% of your income. In that case, you may need to reduce your retirement expectations or expect to work longer. On the other hand, you may run the numbers and see that you’ll be fine with a much more modest return than you’d been investing for. If this is the case, you can potentially lower your overall portfolio risk.
The Smart Money is on a Fiduciary Financial Planner
I believe the real value of working with a fiduciary financial life planner goes well beyond investment returns. Juggling all your financial puzzle pieces can be stressful and time-consuming. Having a trusted Financial Planner to help you with all of this can be a huge weight off your shoulders. I’ll save the conversation about couples and fighting over money for another time. But if you haven’t heard couples often fight over money, you have no idea how gruesome this can be, trust me.
I’m in pretty good shape physically, but I do more reps and work out harder when I have a knowledgeable training partner. Which in turn leads to me getting in better shape. I’m not any smarter or doing any new or special workouts, but the guidance I get from an experienced trainer leads to significantly greater success than if I were to work out alone. The same may apply to having a financial coach, aka a Certified Financial Planner™, who can develop appropriate strategies – and encourage constructive fiscal behavior to boot – to make your money work harder in pursuit of your long-term goals.
