Investors balk at 1% adviser fees, seek cheaper reviews

Original: I’ve had 2 financial advisers, but can’t stomach the 1% fee. Where can I find a great one who will simply review my portfolio twice a year?

A MarketWatch reader question is drawing attention to frustration with standard financial adviser fees. The reader, having worked with two advisers, objects to paying the typical 1% of assets annually and wants an adviser who would simply review a portfolio twice a year instead. The question highlights a wider debate over whether percentage-of-assets fees are worth it for investors who mainly want occasional checkups.

Why now: People are actively debating whether 1% asset-based adviser fees are justified versus flat-fee or occasional review services.
