Frequently asked questions.
Why should I choose Facet?
In an industry saturated with fees, confusing jargon, and cookie-cutter solutions, Facet exists to make financial planning affordable, accessible, and personalized.
Affordable: With our flat-fee membership options and commission-free approach to investing, we’re helping you keep money in your pocket so you can spend it on the things that matter most to you.
Accessible: Financial planning can be complicated enough as it is, without all the fancy jargon and hard-to-understand processes. With knowledgeable, objective CFP® professionals, intuitive technology and ongoing support, we’re making financial planning simple. (As it should be.)
Personalized: There is no one-size-fits-all approach to planning because there is no such thing as a “standard member.” We take the time to understand our members’ individual needs, dreams and priorities to develop plans that help them achieve success by their unique definition of the word.
I can do this myself, why do I need a financial planner?
What’s a fiduciary?
A fiduciary holds a legal and ethical relationship of trust with the person whom they’re serving. Therefore, a fiduciary is legally obligated to only make recommendations in the best interest of each person they are giving advice to. Like all SEC-registered firms, all of the CFP® professionals at Facet are fiduciaries on behalf of our members.
What happens if I want to cancel my membership?
All of Facet’s memberships are annual and non-refundable. If you choose to cancel your membership, you will be responsible for any outstanding balance, and will retain access to your planner and services for the remainder of the term.
Can my spouse or partner join under my membership or do they need their own?
You and your spouse or partner can use the same membership.
What fees does Facet charge for investment management?
Facet offers flat-fee planning memberships that don’t change based on how much you invest and earn, however, our custodians or third party service providers may charge fees that will be deducted from your account.
You can view a full list of potential custodial costs under the “Investment management” section of our legal page and for more information about Facet’s approach to investing, watch this video.
Facet’s specific investment management services vary depending upon the chosen service level.
How can Facet manage my investments as part of my membership when others charge a fee?
We’re able to include investment management as part of your Core, Plus, or Complete membership because we believe in a transparent and member-centric approach to financial planning. To us, managing a $100,000 portfolio isn’t much different than managing a $1,000,000 portfolio—so why would we make our members pay more? By structuring our services this way, we prioritize your financial well-being over transaction-based fees.
