Why Do People Choose Allworth?

blue line

The reasons why people choose Allworth vary significantly, but we believe our exceptional client retention (97%) is a testament to the fact that our entire business was designed to be different. 

Allworth is the wealth management choice for those seeking sophisticated, tailored financial planning and investment guidance — without giving up the personalized service and attention you and your money deserve. 

With access to integrated investment, tax, insurance, and estate planning professionals, Allworth clients receive all-in-one planning, all-from-one place — delivering comprehensive guidance from a full circle of financial experts working together to connect all the dots of their financial lives. 

And unlike other firms, our advisors are salaried, full-time, fiduciary financial planning experts, backed by a dedicated support team, meaning your advisor has more freedom to focus on helping you achieve your goals.  

Why do people choose Allworth?  It’s because we still believe that when financial guidance and personalized service go further, so can your money. 

Why People Work With Us

Your goals are unique, and that's how we advise you.

But why would you choose to work with us? 

Here are six reasons to consider:

1. We're Fiduciaries

Being a fiduciary means we are legally obligated to only give you advice that’s in your best interests. Even if you don’t work with us, make sure you work with a full-time fiduciary.  

2. Fee-Based

Being fee-based means our economic interests are aligned with yours. If you are successful, we are successful. It also means you aren’t tied up for years in complicated products. And while we work to make sure it never happens? You can fire us at any time

3. Retirement Focused

We help people retire well. While we have many clients that are not yet near retirement, and many others who could retire at any time, but choose not to, we focus on helping you prepare for life after you’ve stopped working full-time. With thousands of clients, this means we’ve seen just about every retirement scenario possible.

4. Our Advisors are Advisors, Not Salespeople

We have a team approach to advising, which means our advisors not only don’t compete, they actually work together to help you thrive. (Surprisingly, this is not typical in our industry.)

5. We Give Honest, Direct Advice

We pride ourselves on giving advice that is not only honest, but direct. Sometimes, that means giving you recommendations and advice you need to hear. We believe that plain-spoken, direct advice will better help you reach your goals. You deserve that. 

6. Education Driven

Deciding who to work with can be a complicated process. How do you know who is good? Who can you trust? We offer free education on important topics, specifically so you “can kick our tires.” Read our articles, watch our videos, and come to our live events. There’s no obligation. If you like what you see, let’s talk. 

 

Let us make it very clear to you: Your concerns are our concerns, and we will only give you advice if we think we can help you, and only after creating a plan that we believe is the best road for you to take to reach your investment and retirement goals.

We’re Allworth Financial. Experienced, straightforward, credentialed fiduciary advice that has your best interests in mind 100% of the time.

How is Allworth Unique?

blue line

30 years ago, Allworth Financial was founded as a clear alternative to the self-motivated, sales-focused advisory model that continues to dominate the industry to this day. 

That means, while other firms spend time upselling, bundling products, quota hunting, and giving advice that is in their best interests, Allworth advisors are full-time, dedicated, and backed by a support team to help manage all the details that orbit your account. 

And with a full circle of on-staff financial experts specializing in investments, tax, insurance, estate, and more, your wealth has the advantage every modern investor needs. All under one roof and focused on helping you achieve your goals. 

But the advantages of working with a fully dedicated advisor like Allworth don’t end there. Several recent studies have found that people who work with reliable advisors receive, on average, a 4% annual bump in returns above and beyond investment returns.6
