How do you charge for your services?
Buckingham has proudly been a fee-only fiduciary management firm since we opened our doors nearly 30 years ago. This means we sell no financial products and receive no commissions from any source. Instead, we’re solely in the business of advice. Our fees from clients are based on a percentage of our managed client assets in any given year and cover all our investment management and financial planning services.
What makes Buckingham different?
Our data-driven, customized strategies are based on decades of scientific, peer-reviewed research, not intuition. Buckingham’s evidence-driven approach to investment and planning, the vision of our thought leaders and the shared knowledge and collective experience of our advisors are key components of our unique approach to wealth management. We are motivated not by how many assets we manage, but how many lives we improve. Plus, as a fiduciary, we personally and legally pledge to always put our clients’ needs first.
