The Value of an Advisor

New research indicates that working with an Advisor adds 1.6 to 3 percentage points in annual returns – which could result in having 22% more retirement income!

While we have long believed that our clients achieve higher returns over the long run than those that manage their investments themselves, two newly-released, independent studies have confirmed this belief. Vanguard recently published a report indicating that returns over a full market cycle could be as much as three percentage points higher for individuals using Investment Advisors.1 A separate Morningstar report concluded that returns increased by 1.6 percentage points for those using an Advisor. Over time, working with an advisor could add as much as 22% in additional retirement income!2

If you have any questions on any of these studies or our processes, please feel free to contact us at 800-401-6477 or visit us at www.alignmywealth.com
