Welcome to the Retirement Planning Education Podcast, where you can learn all about IRAs and Roth IRAs, employer retirement plans, taxes, social security, Medicare, portfolio

withdrawal strategies, annuities, estate planning, and much more. And now here's your host, Andy Panko.

Welcome back, everybody. Today is my talk about fees, fees in the advisory industry.

I can already feel the weight of lots of other advisors rolling their eyes at me from their headphones, behind their headphones.

This will be an informative one. I think it's an important one to know about and to discuss,

to think about. it's a somewhat

controversial one it's definitely a hot topic it very much divides a lot of the

industry for better or worse but I think I mean I can say firsthand that the

industry is trending towards some changes in the advisory fee structures offered. There's lots of momentum

that I've witnessed in my few years since starting my business and that momentum seems to be

growing. So I'm not saying in my lifetime, the fee environment will be completely overhauled

throughout the advisory industry, but there will be

nonetheless substantial changes to it and many more advisors offering varied fee structures,

service offerings, et cetera, over the next 10, 20 years or whatever. So I'm excited to see where

it goes. So this will be a good one, but before we get into it, I just wanted to let you know that I've started a boat building business in my attic.

Man, sales are going through the roof.

Do you get it?

Okay, cool.

Moving on.

I don't have my sound machine here because I'm recording from home again today.

My fancy little soundboards at the office.
