Comprehensive XY Planning Network Member Benefits
“Find A Planner” Profile Search To Help Consumers Find You
Create a custom profile listing on our innovative Find A Planner Profile search to generate more leads for your practice or firm. Consumers can search for a financial planner by specialty and connect with your directly online using our scheduling feature. This means nationwide visibility for you, as the search engine isn’t limited to providing results by location only. Work with your ideal clients, anywhere.
Fee Structures That Work For You
Our members are committed to offering services in a way that makes the most sense for you. Their goal is to help you understand your future, and help you realize your dreams. We incur many costs on a monthly basis, so why shouldn’t you engage your financial planner monthly for on-going assistance? All of our members offer monthly retainer services not just asset orientated fees. Our planners do not require asset minimums so why should the fees be built on asset values alone. You never have to worry about having enough wealth to hire our financial planners.
Advice for a Fee
This means just what it says. Our members get paid for providing advice. They take responsibility for that advice being in your interest not theirs. Our members do not accept commissions, payments for referral or kickbacks of any kind. All fees must originate with clients and be transparent. We believe behind the scene or hidden payments introduce conflicts of interest between clients, planners and investment professionals. All parties should be working towards the same goal: your financial well-being. The only compensation your financial planner should receive is for services directly provided to you. Our members never sell any kind of investment or insurance product for the purpose of receiving a payment.
Best-In-Class Coaches
We have best-in-class coaches providing our members with their expertise. Our coaches have a single goal in mind – help you start, run, and grow your firm. You can ask our coaches questions at any time using the member forum, and can learn via webinar training.
Continuing Education
We have partnered with some of the top educational providers to provide our members with continuing education opportunities. Members receive access to both the Kitces Report and Insider Information for free!
Peer-to-Peer Networking
Just like you, our members are specialists in working with clients under 50. You’ll enjoy exclusive access to our private, members-only discussion forum, where you can interact with successful planners. You can get answers to questions from expert coaches, and share ideas and solutions. We’re constantly adding to our topic-based social platform and providing new resources to help better manage and build practices
Study Groups
We believe the best way to grow is to connect with like-minded professionals. Through our member forum, you can find other professionals to form a private study group. Use our video chat technology to meet regularly, share files and documents you are working on, share ideas, and more.
Media Requests
Members of the media are looking for advisors to speak with regarding a wide range of topics concerning Gen X and Gen Y clients. We connect reporters with our members so you can share your thoughts and opinions.
Educational Webinars
We host webinars on topics that will help you start, run, and grow your business, as well as provide financial planning education. Webinars are led by our coaches, members, and profession leading experts. Best of all, all of the content will be focused on helping you serve your clients.
Integration with Portfolio Manager
XY Planning Network members may provide complete end to end services, Fee-Only Planning to Asset Management, to ensure clients get the implementation you suggest.
