A new report by Boston-based research firm Cerulli Associates indicates that investors prefer to pay commissions rather than fees for their financial advisory services. Of the 7800 households surveyed, 47% said they prefer commissions as compared to 27% that would rather pay a fee based on assets under management. About 18% of survey recipients prefer negotiated lump-sum retainer fees, and 8 percent choose an hourly fee structure.
