Of the 67% of total survey participants who have an advisor, 24% believe they don’t pay any fees for advisory services and 13% are unsure. Close to 40% of survey participants who know they pay for investment management say they don’t understand the fee structure well or at all

More than eight in 10 (83%) survey participants are not aware of the changes connected to CRM2.
