Wealth
management generally includes comprehensive investment management alongside
financial advice, tax guidance, estate planning and even legal assistance.
The type of service offered by a wealth management firm is best suited to affluent
clients. But while you may not require wealth management now, your needs are
likely to change over time. At some point, it may be time to look into wealth
management.
Fidelity also offers a simpler “wealth management” service, where you work with an
individual advisor and requires a $250,000 account minimum.
Vanguard, another online brokerage, offers a range of financial advice services; the
one it describes as “wealth management” requires a $5 million minimum.
Financial planners may offer similar services to wealth managers, but often they’ll let
you purchase services on an “a la carte” basis. For example, if all you want is help
figuring out how you’ll meet your retirement income needs, some financial planners
will work with you to create a retirement income plan, and you pay solely for that
service.
If you need assistance estate planning, specialized tax help or investing advice, it
may be worth getting professional help now to protect and preserve your assets
later.
