A documented financial plan gives the advisor a reason to cover multiple needs at once: retirement, education, insurance, estate planning, and withdrawal strategy. Tax-managed portfolios matter because tax drag reduces after-tax returns, so clients often value strategies that keep more of their gains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAmeriprise Financial, Inc. has stated that its fee-based assets were \u003cstrong\u003e64%\u003c\/strong\u003e of client assets, which signals a business already built around advice.
