Description:
What is Compensation: Advisory Fee Limits? Advisory fees are paid to financial professionals for managing client funds.

FINRA also has guidelines, but online trading has mostly relegated predatory brokerage fees to the past. Hedge fund fees are a different story, as they are dictated by demand.
