Q.	Do you have a customer satisfaction or refund policy?
We do not use products with surrender charges or fees. If clients choose to work with other advisors, we do not restrict that movement.

Q.	What are your qualifications? What is your education background?
Both planners in our office are Certified Financial Planner (tm) practitioners and hold securities and insurance licenses.

Q.	What is your approach to financial planning?
We approach what can be a very complex topic and reduce it to understandable information. We take the approach that a client should be familiar with all aspects of their financial plan, including aspects not directly related to their investments.

Q.	What services do you offer?
Financial Planning, Investment Management, 401(k) advisory services, life/disability/Long Term care insurance,

Q.	How many clients do you currently manage?
Approximately 200 active clients.

Q.	Will you be the only person working with me?
We work in a team enviornment, so our three person office will be familiar with your case but you will have one main contact.

Q.	How are you compensated? How will I pay for your services?
We charge fees for our financial planning services. For investment management, we work primarily on a fee basis, but will work in a commission enviornment if it makes financial sense for the client.

Q.	If you are going to manage my account, will you obtain my permission every time you buy or sell something?
Typically, yes. An exception might be for regular quarterly rebalancing.

Q.	Do you offer any guaranteed results?
Yes, we guarantee that you will pay taxes, and we guarantee that you'll die someday! Seriously, other than some limited use of insurance products, we make no guarantees.

Q.	How much risk should I be willing to take?
The amount of risk an investor takes is an individual decision. It can even vary between husband and wife.

Q.	Have you ever been charged with any breaches?
No.

Q.	What are your qualifications?
Both planners in our office are Certified Financial Planner (tm) practitioners and hold securities and insurance licenses.

Q.	What is your approach to 401 K plan rollovers?
Because many 401(k) rollovers will eventually turn into a "retirement paycheck" we approach each rollover from that standpoint. A younger person with a rollover is likely not to need immediate distributions, and thus might have a different investment goal.

Q.	How long does the process of rolling over a 401K plan usually take?
Much depends on the sponsor of the 401(k) and their paperwork requirements. It's not an overnight process, but can generally be accomplished within 30 days.

Q.	What financial institutions do you represent?
As an independent Registered Investment Advisor, we have access to numerous institutions and are not subject to just one or two providers.

Q.	How many years of experience do you have?
8 years, backed by the principal of the firm with 34 years of experience.

Q.	What are your fees for this service?
Generally, we charge an asset managment fee of 1% per year, that encompasses all other fees (trading, reporting, etc). These fees are debited directly from the account, and depending on your tax situation, may be deductible.

Q.	How many 401K rollover clients do you currently manage?
About 150 clients.

Q.	Why should I roll over my 401K plan to your firm?
Because we charge fees, we feel that we are able to provide independent, objective advice about your 401(k) rollover without the sales pressure of a commission based broker.

Q.	Do you provide a free initial consultation?
Absolutely! We also have evening appointments available.
