Business Description
I am a fiduciary and not a broker, this allows me to put my clients' best interests first. After creating an Investment Policy Statement (IPS) for clients, my goal is to assign several of the 26 investment programs we have developed to managing their portfolios with an eye to performing well relative to benchmarks with less risk through bull and bear markets. Please remember though, past performance is no guarantee of future results. Also, I am not a Certified Financial Planner (CFP).

Q.	Do you have a customer satisfaction or refund policy?
Absolutely! We will gladly refund the latest fees paid to us upon request.

Q.	What services do you provide? What are your specialties?
We are not financial planners or Certified Financial Planners (CFPs). We have similar tools at our disposition which create a much targeted evaluation of a client's financial situation rather than the 100 or so pages that planners print out. We manage investment accounts for clients using stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, etc.

Q.	What is your experience? How many clients do you currently manage?
I have about 70 clients and have been in business since 1992. I have worked in finance and investments since 1982. including being a broker (they now call themselves financial advisors too) with a brokerage firm.

Q.	What financial institution(s) do you represent?
I only represent the company of which I am president: T/R Financial Management Group, LLC. Our clients have accounts mostly at Fidelity Investments, which acts as the broker, is independent and provides clients with monthly statements.

Q.	How do you charge for your services?
We are only compensated for managing portfolios. For those we receive a fee based upon the value of the portfolio. We do not charge hourly fees, set fees or minimum fees.

Yes. Absolutely. It is necessary to find out if there is a good fit.

Q.	Why should I choose you as my financial advisor?
I lead a comprehensive team that develops, implements and monitors custom investment strategies for people (for small business owners, for …) to achieve their family’s long-term goals.
