Supplementary Information
The National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA) is a good place to start looking because their advisers are solely compensated by an upfront fee.
The method of compensation is important because many mutual funds charge investors enormous fees for the privilege of investing. Naturally, these funds would die out because they offer nothing in return for their higher costs. However, many of these dishonest funds thrive because financial planners receive a kickback for introducing their clients to the funds. Financial planners who are only compensated by your fee have no incentive to direct you to these types of funds.
