CBL Wealth Management is a “Fee Only” firm that is compensated entirely by asset based fees, hourly fees and fixed fees; we receive NO commissions from ANY of the securities we use or recommend. Because we receive no commissions from any of the securities we offer, our investment selections tend to be lower cost solutions to our client’s needs
It is our opinion that receiving commissions, sales charges or revenue sharing from the investments used in a client’s portfolio may result in an inducement to sell or hold particular securities and may not be in our client’s best interest.
Our fee structure
