Wealth management is really for people who don’t work in finance and need help managing their money. Bankers shouldn’t need financial advisors but if you have terrible spending habits maybe it’s worth it to have someone helping you

 

My former bank gave us access to the in house wealth management team for a couple hundred bucks a year, which I did just so I didn’t need to deal with trading restrictions and such (told them I wanted stocks and basically ended up just similar to if I was in the S&P) and it was just easy since I didn’t need to deal with it. But I absolutely wouldn’t pay for a wealth management service any more than that, it’s typically way expensive and you don’t really have complicated finances as an analyst

Unless you’ve inherited north of $5MM and it’s not already set up in trusts then you don’t have a need for a wealth advisor. Wealth advisors are more versed in the total picture of one’s financial situation, the caveat is that person is already a multimillionaire. If anything they have a team that would work with you and they’d serve as the relationship manager (head salesman).

Reality is most of the work, investing, financing a house and retirement planning you can handle on your own. Best thing you can do is track your spending, be frugal, invest and grind.

Some firms will help establish a plan and that should work to start building up assets and from there they can help with life’s bigger events, like saving for a child’s college.
