How to choose a financial advisor in Chicago
- Ask whether they act as a fiduciary at all times, and request their Form ADV or check them through the SEC Investment Adviser Public Disclosure site and FINRA BrokerCheck.
- Understand how they are paid. Fee-only, commission, and hybrid models create different incentives, and you should get the full fee schedule in writing.
- Look for relevant credentials, such as CFP, and ask about their typical client so you know whether your goals and account size match their experience.
- Walk away from guaranteed returns, pressure to move money quickly, or products they cannot explain simply. Legitimate advisors welcome questions and give you time.
