What is a Fee-Only Financial Advisor?
“Fee-only.” A certificant may describe his or her practice as “fee-only” if, and only if, all of the certificant’s compensation from all of his or her client work comes exclusively from the clients in the form of fixed, flat, hourly, percentage or performance-based fees.

Pyxis Financial Planning offers investment advisory services through CGN Advisors, LLC, a Fee-Only SEC registered investment advisor. We do not charge or receive a commission or mark-up on your securities transactions, nor will the firm or our associates be paid a commission on your purchase of an insurance contract or securities investment that we recommend.
Are Fee-Only and Fee-Based the Same?
Fee-based is NOT the same as fee-only. A fee-based financial advisor can receive fees paid by you, and commissions paid to them by a brokerage firm, mutual fund company, insurance company, or investment partnership. These fees should be disclosed to you, but may be difficult to understand.
