Any recommendations on a group or individual in Baton Rouge?

I have a decent handling on our finances and investments, but am looking for a second opinion on retirement goals, asset allocation, financial planning for newly weds, etc.


thanks appreciated

I think we all do fee based accounts. Do you mean something else?

Any FA can do that for you and do it fee only. Except EdwardJones. I don't think they can do it. Double check me though.

Fee only vs fee based . Isn't fee based where the planner gets an agreed on percentage of the value of your account each quarter? And fee only is where they charge your $ (a set fee) for one-time advice?

Typically a CFP will charge you a "set fee" to put together a financial plan for you. Then on top of that will typically charge a "%fee" if your assets that he will manage.

However, if you meet one that will do only a financial plan for you and direct you how to manage your own assets at vanguard or such then yes it's only a 1 time fee. But usually, the cfp will manage your assets for you as mentioned.

Give Michael Bonfanti a call, I have been happy with what he has done for me.
