How do you charge for your services?
There are three primary ways you can choose to work with us, depending on what makes the most sense for your situation.
Fee-Based Financial Planning This is a one-time or ongoing fee for creating a personalized financial plan designed around your goals, concerns, and priorities.
Asset Management Fee If you choose to have us manage your investment assets, we charge a percentage-based fee based on the assets we are managing on your behalf.
Commission-Based Solutions In certain situations, if we recommend and implement insurance products or investment solutions, we may receive a commission directly from the company providing the product.
Above all, we are always transparent about how we get paid and will clearly explain this before any decisions are made.

How are you compensated? How will I pay for your services?
Depending on the scope of service, I may be compensated through a fee, commission, or a combination of both. I believe in full transparency, and before you make any commitment, I will clearly explain how I am compensated so you can make an informed decision with confidence.

If you are going to manage my account, will you obtain my permission every time you buy or sell something?
Before we begin working together, we will discuss your preferred level of involvement and communication style. We will also establish how often we will meet throughout the year to review your accounts and ensure we are on the right track toward your financial goals.

How many clients do you currently manage?
I currently serve 25 financial planning clients and approximately 100 investment clients. To ensure I provide the highest level of service, I limit the number of clients I work with in each category. If we determine that we are a good fit for each other, we can move forward with a partnership that aligns with your financial goals.

Will you be the only person working with me?
Yes, I will be your primary advisor and the only person directly serving you. However, I have a dedicated team supporting me, including a client relationship manager, investment specialists, a CPA, an insurance specialist, and an estate planning attorney. This ensures you receive comprehensive financial guidance with expertise in all key areas of your financial life.

Do you offer any guaranteed results?
No one in the financial industry can guarantee specific results, as markets and economic conditions are constantly changing. However, what I can guarantee is a disciplined, well-structured approach to financial planning and investment management. My goal is to help you make informed decisions, manage risk effectively, and stay on track toward your financial goals with a strategy tailored to your needs.
|
How much risk should I be willing to take?
We start by completing an in-depth risk tolerance questionnaire to understand your perspective on market fluctuations. Using this information, along with my extensive experience, we design a strategy tailored to your goals. Risk is not a static factorit evolves as your financial situation and objectives change. Thats why we continuously review your portfolio and adjust your investment strategy over time to ensure it remains aligned with your long-term goals.

Have you ever been charged with any breaches?
Our industry has very strict ethical and regulatory standards, and I take these responsibilities very seriously. I have always adhered to these standards and maintain a clean record with no breaches or violations. My focus is on providing the highest level of service and integrity to my clients at all times.
