Financial Planning FAQs
What is the difference between a fiduciary and a broker?
A fiduciary must act in your best interest at all times. Brokers generally follow a “suitability” standard. As a Registered Investment Adviser (RIA), we operate under a fiduciary standard and align recommendations with your stated goals, time horizon, risk tolerance, and constraints.
How are financial planning fees structured?
Lashkari Wealth Management offers a fee-based financial planning service. Depending on engagement scope, we may use a flat/retainer planning fee. Any associated fees are fully disclosed in writing.
Do you work with clients outside of California?
Yes. We serve clients in select states and use secure technology to deliver consistent communication and service regardless of location.
How often will we review my plan and portfolio?
We monitor continuously and conduct formal reviews at least semi-annually, or sooner when there are meaningful life, tax, or market changes (e.g., new job, liquidity event, birth, inheritance, law changes).
