Episode No. 110 | July 26, 2017

We know our mailbag is overflowing, so we're back with another Alan & Kitces Unhinged episode to answer as many of your questions as possible! In this episode we're talking E&O insurance and when to get it; how to decide between two distinct niches you may be serving; and what it means to be a level-fee fiduciary.

We've also received questions about how to talk to clients about transitioning from an AUM only model to a retainer + AUM model. Often it seems trickier than it is, and we've got some guidance on how to make it easy. And we'll talk about the relevance of performance reviews, and whether or not you should be providing them to your clients - especially the younger ones.
