You're not alone.

Advisory Services

Your investments are important. Advisory Services can help them receive the care they deserve.
Your investments can be professionally managed or a Financial Advisor can help you manage them yourself.
Wells Fargo Advisors programs allow flexibility to help you reach your goals. 

Managing investments 

A lot may be riding on your investments: retirement, children’s or grandchildren’s education, your financial legacy. Your investment plan should get the attention it deserves. 
Some investors enjoy managing their own plan. They are confident in their abilities and have the time to research and monitor their investments’ performance. 
You’re not alone if you don’t fall into that category. Like many others, you may want to work with a professional by taking advantage of an advisory program.

Using an advisory program 


You can save time and have a professional manage your investments when you use the services of an advisory program. 

Advisory programs generally fall into two categories. One gives another party the power to make decisions for your account’s day-to-day management. This means you can allow a portfolio manager — in some cases your Financial Advisor — to decide when to buy, sell, and hold investments without consulting you. 

Your portfolio manager will make decisions based on a variety of factors: 

  • Your long-term objectives
  • The time you have to reach your objectives
  • Your risk tolerance 

In the other program, you collaborate with your Financial Advisor. We will provide you with objective advice and guidance based on your needs, goals, and today’s investment environment, to help you make your own buy, sell, and hold decisions. 


Fee replaces commissions 

So how can an advisory account differ from a traditional brokerage account? One difference is how you pay for the services you receive. In an advisory account program, you generally pay a fee. This is often charged on a quarterly basis based on a percentage of your account’s value. In a traditional brokerage account you would pay a commission for each transaction. 

Flexible range of alternatives 


You can choose which advisory services program you implement. Wells Fargo Advisors offers an array of programs. You can decide what products you would like to have managed, such as mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), stocks, bonds, and commodity-based investments. 

We can discuss the programs with you and see what fits your situation – and what makes you feel more confident in helping you reach your goals.

Your investments should work together to help you reach your financial goals. You have access to many investment products and services. Here are some we offer to help you build your plan for the future and for now. 


Retirement Plan Distribution Options

If you’re changing jobs or retiring, you’ll need to decide what to do with assets in your qualified employer-sponsored retirement plan. These savings can represent a significant portion of your retirement income, so it’s important you carefully evaluate all of the options.

Your company is one of your most important assets. It’s the product of your hard work. We can offer your business a variety of customized products and services, from employee benefit plans to insurance and help with succession planning.


College Savings Plans

Saving up to pay for your child’s college education doesn’t have to interfere with your retirement goals. 529 plans and trust funds are designed to help parents and grandparents save for a child’s education. Planning for retirement, managing your investment portfolio, and funding a college education is a balancing act. The trick is to plan ahead.


Estate Planning Services

Everyone could use an estate plan. It’s not about what you own – but putting you in control. Estate planning can often be fairly simple with professional help. Sometimes it’s more complex.  Make an appointment with us to talk about your estate planning goals. 


Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA)

Find out ideas on how we can help you reach your retirement goals with an IRA. Even if you already contribute to a qualified employer-sponsored retirement plan (QRP), you should consider investing in an IRA. It can help supplement those savings and give you access to a wider range of investments.


Insurance

Insurance can play a key role in helping preserve your assets and achieve your financial goals. Plan to help protect all aspects of your financial life: family, business, retirement, and legacy. Consider how insurance can help protect the people and causes you care about the most.


Investment Products

Developing your investment plan includes choosing which products and services might help you meet your financial goals. We can discuss what might work for your situation and help you feel confident as you work toward achieving your goals.


Retirement Planning
