Michael Kitces highlights the industry effects of the emergence of “Financial Advicers” [Podcast with Transcript]:
Michael Kitces: The average advisory fee is higher now than it was in 2012, almost 10 years ago when robo advisors first showed up because we’re doing more advice and we’re actually finding it so valuable. We can charge more for it, literally the opposite of fee compression.
Reese Harper: And all of the robo advisors had to pivot and say, ‘Okay, fine, we’ll offer a supported option.‘
Michael Kitces: There’s human CFPs because it turns out people need some advice. And if you don’t and you just want to take an order and buy something, that’s great. You can do that. There’s a lot of platforms to do that, but our lives aren’t getting any financially simpler and so that need for financial advice is just growing.“
