Brokers and Brokerage

How do you invest? What do you really pay? At the end of the day, what are your real results? These are questions smart investors should be asking themselves (but usually don't). In this era of more fees, misc. charges, holding periods and back end redemptions, even at discount brokers, how are you really making out?

Online Brokerage I targeted this group because I enjoy the educational part of my business. A happy side benefit has been that by providing million dollar service to these so called "small" investors, they naturally refer me to parents, relatives, friends and business associates, often with considerably more assets than the original client. What a happy consequence.

Real Estate Broker Having set the stage, here's what happened with my new client who we will call John. John was 26, newly married with a one year old son. His wife was taking care of the child and John had a good full time job. After selling his house in California and moving to Florida he had $6,000 left for starting a long-term investment program.

Brokerage Account $45 per quarter would be equal to an annual fee of 3% of his starting balance. John called me somewhat frustrated and said that he'd be willing to set up an account with me, but how would it make sense if in addition he'd have to pay my advisory management fee?

He now has no annual fees, other than my management fee, and his 180 day holding period for mutual funds is reduced to 90 days, minimizing, if not eliminating, the likelihood of an early redemption fee.
