Do You Really Know What You're Paying in Fees?

June 23, 2026·8 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Most investors can name their advisory fee. Almost none can state their all-in annual cost — and the difference can amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars over a career. This episode breaks down the three layers of investment costs: the advisor's fee, the underlying fund expenses, and platform charges that rarely appear as a line item. You'll learn how to calculate your true total cost, what questions to ask your advisor, and how to evaluate whether what you're paying is commensurate with what you're receiving.
