Integral adopted a fee-only financial planning approach so that we can work solely for our clients. We are compensated only by the fees paid by our clients; we do not accept commissions or receive any other compensation for recommending specific products. Therefore, Integral can be unbiased and objective in developing our recommendations.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of financial advisors in the United States are sellers of financial products. Some or all of their income may be dependent upon their ability to steer their clients to a limited number of financial products. The fee-only compensation model adopted by Integral avoids these conflicts of interest and places the clients' interests first.
