What financial institution(s) do you represent? |
| |
Absolutely none. We are an independent, fee-only firm. |
|
| Q. |
How do you charge for your services? |
| |
We are compensated solely as a percentage of your assets. Our fees are 0.90% of assets per year, assessed quarterly, which are about half those of the average actively managed mutual fund. We are a fee-only firm, meaning we do not get paid on commission, by referrals, or selling any products. |
|
| Q. |
Do you provide a free initial consultation? |
|
| Q. |
Why should I choose you as my financial advisor? |

We are an independent firm. Our fees are low, our performance to date is considerably better than the market, we invest alongside our clients and we have no conflicts of interest. |
