A lot of financial planners sell investment products and take a commission as payment. Therefore the more you invest the more the financial planner makes in commissions. At Argentis we provide strategic financial advice on a fee for service basis.There are many occasions where no investment products are recommended, as the advice is strategic, which is how you arrange your financial affairs, such as taxation planning, salary packaging and superannuation planning. We challenge our clients paradigm of thinking about their financial circumstances. We quote a fixed fee for the work you require and we analyse the cost to benefits - if the benefits are at least 2 times the cost, then it will be worthwhile doing the work. Although there may be times when the benefit may be "peace of mind".
