Terminology FAQ (Canada)

What does Advice‑Only mean in Canada?

Advice‑Only means you pay for advice only—no product sales or asset management; compensation is structurally independent from implementation.

How is Fee‑Only different?

Fee‑Only is a broader umbrella meaning the planner is paid only by the client (no commissions). It can include AUM, hourly, or flat fees.

What is Fee‑for‑Service?

In Canadian usage, Fee‑for‑Service typically refers to flat/project or hourly billing rather than AUM.
