Fisher Investments has good capabilities, particularly around discretionary, but my experience has been mixed. The advice is personal, but some banking and lending needs still have to be handled elsewhere. The advice itself has been useful, yet I would like the overall process to feel more consistent. I value having a clear point of contact.

Client reviews
Published reviews managed by the editorial team. These reviews do not affect published rankings.
There are clear strengths here, especially centralized portfolios, but the service has not always matched my expectations. I would like broader international capability for cross-border matters. I see the value in the firm, although there is room to improve the client experience. The experience has become easier as the relationship has matured.
The team is knowledgeable and the fixed income conversations have generally been worthwhile. The planning process is thorough, although gathering documents at the start took time. For my needs, that friction has mattered enough to bring the rating down to three stars. I pay close attention to costs and communication, and both matter to my rating.
I have had some productive meetings with Fisher Investments, but the relationship has required more effort on my side than I expected. Reporting is clear, but held-away assets still require some manual coordination. I would like to see a smoother process before rating it higher. My priorities are long-term and I prefer a measured approach.
The experience has been consistently strong. Communication is direct, the review process is disciplined and the team does not overreact to short-term market noise. Centralized portfolios is a real differentiator. I tend to ask detailed questions before making portfolio changes.
I came to Fisher Investments with a fairly specific objective and the team stayed focused on it. The discussions around etfs/funds were thoughtful and the implementation process was easy to follow. I care more about consistency than frequent trading.
The relationship feels proactive rather than reactive. I receive context before important decisions, and the team is good at explaining how a change in fixed income could affect the wider portfolio. For me, service quality matters as much as investment selection.
I have worked with several financial institutions and this has been one of the better-organized experiences. Documentation, follow-up and portfolio reviews are handled with a high level of consistency. I review the relationship carefully each year.
The service feels personal without being informal. I like that the team is willing to say when an idea is not a good fit rather than trying to force a product into the portfolio. Clear documentation makes a noticeable difference to my confidence.
For me, the main value is clarity. The conversations around etfs/funds and discretionary are specific, well documented and tied back to my objectives. I prefer recommendations that are tied directly to my objectives.
Fisher Investments has done a good job of turning market developments into practical portfolio implications. That is much more useful than receiving generic commentary or headlines. I value proactive updates when markets move quickly.
Overall, I have been very satisfied with Fisher Investments. The combination of retirees, responsiveness and a disciplined review process gives me confidence in the relationship. I am comfortable with complexity when it is explained clearly.
I chose Fisher Investments because I wanted a more structured approach to discretionary. The team has been prepared, responsive and very clear about why each step matters. Direct acquisition has been the strongest part of the relationship for me. My main benchmark is whether the service saves me time and improves decision-making.
Fisher Investments has handled the relationship professionally from the start. I especially value how etfs/funds is discussed alongside the rest of the portfolio instead of as a stand-alone product decision. I appreciate when risks are discussed as openly as opportunities.
The portfolio discussions are thoughtful and I like the way the team connects fixed income with broader objectives. The relationship is strong, though certain specialist services rely on external partners. Once that was resolved, the rest of the process was straightforward. I prefer a relationship that remains disciplined during volatile markets.
I would rate the experience highly, especially for fixed income. The only reason I am not giving five stars is that the advice is personal, but some banking and lending needs still have to be handled elsewhere. Service quality itself has been consistently good. I want reporting that makes it easy to understand what changed and why.
The relationship has been dependable and professional. I get clear answers and good follow-through. I would like broader international capability for cross-border matters. I would still recommend the firm based on the overall quality of advice. I expect specialist advice to be coordinated rather than fragmented.
There is a lot to like about Fisher Investments: preparation, research and the way etfs/funds is explained. The planning process is thorough, although gathering documents at the start took time. A little more simplicity there would make the experience better. Responsiveness between formal meetings is important to me.
I appreciate the disciplined approach and the fact that the team does not chase every market trend. Reporting is clear, but held-away assets still require some manual coordination. That aside, the ongoing reviews have been useful and focused. I prefer straightforward explanations over sales language.
The advice has been relevant to my situation and the team has been accessible when I need them. The relationship is strong, though certain specialist services rely on external partners. It is a manageable trade-off, but worth mentioning. I value being able to challenge a recommendation and get a detailed answer.
Fisher Investments has delivered what I expected in terms of discretionary and overall portfolio support.

The relationship still feels well managed and I have not had concerns about the quality of the discussions. I pay particular attention to liquidity and implementation details.
I am satisfied with the service and would continue the relationship. The work on fixed income has been valuable. Reporting is clear, but held-away assets still require some manual coordination. That is the main reason for four rather than five stars. I prefer fewer, better-explained recommendations.
Overall I have had a positive experience with Fisher Investments. The advice around discretionary has been useful and meetings are well prepared. The relationship is strong, though certain specialist services rely on external partners. It has not been a major problem, but it is the main area I would improve.
