Alternative investments |
|
| Q. |
How many clients do you currently manage? |
| |
We work with approximately 125 families per wealth manager. Working with too many families makes it impossible to provide personal, ongoing service. |
|
| Q. |
Will you be the only person working with me? |
| |
That depends on your needs. Some clients with simple issues will work with only one wealth manager, while clients with very complicated issues may have a team of eight or more specialists. In either case, you would have one lead point of contact with our firm. Your team "coach" if you will. |
|
| Q. |
How are you compensated? How will I pay for your services? |
| |
We give our clients the choice between a fee-only or full-service relationship. Both have strengths and limitations. |
|
| Q. |
If you are going to manage my account, will you obtain my permission every time you buy or sell something? |
| |
This is your wealth, so you set the rules. Some of our clients prefer to stay in the drivers seat while others delegate responsibility. |
|
| Q. |
Do you offer any guaranteed results? |
| |
In our industry, the word "guarantee" is highly regulated. The only time it can be legally used is in reference to a U.S. government bond or FDIC insured products, or state regulated insurance products. Beware of people who guarantee investment results. |
|
| Q. |
How much risk should I be willing to take? |
| |
You should meet or exceed your goals and be able to sleep at night. We will explain the potential risks and rewards of each financial plan, and show you how our recommendations performed during good and bad economic times. |

|
| Q. |
What is your approach to 401 K plan rollovers? |
| |
We educate you on the options and compare you current 401(k) to an IRA to make sure the cost, safety and performance makes sense. We also do in-depth beneficiary planning to take advantage of options not available with 401(k) plans. |
|
| Q. |
How long does the process of rolling over a 401K plan usually take? |
| |
Once a decision has been made to roll over a 401(k) has been made, it generally takes up to a few weeks to complete the transaction. We make it easy for you and fill out all the paperwork. |
|
| Q. |

| |
Our independence from large brokerage firms and insurance companies help you steer clear of garbage proprietary products. Our IRA strategies are customized and our clients have reported less stress and better performance than their 401(k) plans. Our unique beneficiary strategies will likely leave substantially more to your family and less to the IRS. We help you face the future with confidence! A |
|

Do you provide a free initial consultation? |
| |
