Many may think when they see the words ‘ flat fee’, that is the only point that they should focus on! Some may even think it’s more important than the actual investments in the portfolio, and the return it should generate! There’s talk that flat fee advisors are just there to deflate the cost of investing, so investors will levitate to it.
