Frequently Asked Questions |
 |
| Q. |
Do you have a customer satisfaction or refund policy? |
| |
I work closely with my clients within their risk tolerance and time horizon. I do not generally charge for consultations. This industry does not permit a "Refund Policy" regarding investments. |
|
| Q. |
If you are going to manage my account, will you obtain my permission every time you buy or sell something? |
| |
Yes, I am required to obtain your permission every time I buy or sell something, unless you are a Fee basis account AND you grant me discretionary powers. In that case, I will discuss initiating an investment with you, but may liquidate the investment if I cannot reach you and I feel it would be in your best interest to liquidate the investment. |
|
| Q. |
Have you ever been charged with any breaches? |
|

As an independent, I do not "represent" any specific financial institution(s). However, I am appointed with several insurance companies. |

|
| Q. |

|
| Q. |
What is your approach to 401 K plan rollovers? |
| |
I have at least 2 consultations with the participant, that we may get to know one another. During that time we will discuss several appropriate avenues of investment within the client's risk tolerance and time horizon. |
|
| Q. |
How long does the process of rolling over a 401K plan usually take? |
| |
Depending on the plan restrictions, 7 to 10 days, although I did have one rollover where the plan did not allow a rollover for two years - but that was a very old plan that needed to be updated. |
|
| Q. |
How many years of experience do you have? |
| |
Over 30 years. I began my career in August of 1977. |
|
| Q. |

|
| Q. |
Why should I roll over my 401K plan to your firm? |
| |
The vehicles for investment we offer are varied and as always are tailored to the Client's needs and objectives. I have no pre-conception as to where or how one should rollover their 401(k). |
