Media Mentions and Industry Involvement
As David Creekmore, president of Lifetime Financial, puts it, "Fee-only eliminates the huge distortive incentive of product sale commissions, but it's hardly free from conflicts of interest." In other words, this model may provide clarity in terms of costs; however, the absence of commissions doesn't guarantee the best financial advice.
