Frequently Asked Questions |
|
| Q. |
How many clients do you currently manage? |
| |
About 50. We prefer to serve a select number of clients to facilitate meaningful relationships, more relevant advice, and better service. |
|
| Q. |
Will you be the only person working with me? |
| |
No. We have a wealth management team comprised of several experienced professionals, each of whom adds value for our clients. |
|
| Q. |
How are you compensated? How will I pay for your services? |
| |
We are a “fee-only” financial advisor. Our fees are simply a percentage of assets under management. We do not charge hourly fees, and we do not sell products or receive commissions. This arrangement eliminates the natural conflicts of interest that can arise when a financial advisor receives a commission on the investments being recommended. |
|
| Q. |
If you are going to manage my account, will you obtain my permission every time you buy or sell something? |
| |
Our clients gladly delegate the portfolio management responsibility to us! This is done within the boundaries of an "Investment Policy Statement" that we agree on together at the beginning of the relationship. This document is very important, as it ensures that the advisor and client are on the same page and reflects the client’s goals and any constraints on the portfolio. |
|
| Q. |
Do you offer any guaranteed results? |
| |
No, and from an investment standpoint, you should be suspicious of anyone who does. |
|
| Q. |
How much risk should I be willing to take? |
| |
You should only take on as much risk as is needed to achieve your financial goals; subject, of course, to your personal risk tolerance. |
|
| Q. |
Have you ever been charged with any breaches? |
|
| Q. |
What financial institution(s) do you represent? |
| |
Our clients' investment accounts are held at Fidelity Investments, on their institutional wealth management platform. We do not have any sort of financial relationship with Fidelity or any other institution. Fidelity just serves as a low-cost, quality custodian for our clients. |
