FAQs |
Do you have a customer satisfaction or refund policy?Meetings, phone calls, and prep work prior to becoming a client or transferring monies will not be charged a fee/invoice, and the client is not expected to pay at this stage. If choosing to become a client, clients that are not satisfied with our investment recommendations, performance, fees, or customer service at any time are encouraged to voice these concerns to our office, Advisor will be fair and discuss changes that suffice, including fee reimbursement or fee reductions on a per client basis in a fair manner if the client chooses. |
How do you charge for your services?Yearly advisory fee of 0.9%, or one-time investment commissions, or an hourly rate. Client preference. |
How are you compensated? How will I pay for your services?Clients can choose to pay a yearly advisory fee based on the account value size as a "wrap fee" or pay one-time commission when funds are invested. If intensive work is required in a review of a financial situation, the Advisor may ask the client to pay an hourly invoice for work done, which they would be asked to consent to. Advisor will always walk through what may be the most cost effective option for client in regard to their investment plan and strategy. |
If you are going to manage my account, will you obtain my permission every time you buy or sell something?This is the clients' wish and will be communicated and consented to in which method they prefer. Some clients want a walk through of each investment, and want the Advisor to call and obtain a verbal consent for any sells or purchases for their accounts growth, and other clients prefer to only be contacted if needed, and authorize the Financial Advisor's discretion in their buying/selling for the account's growth or portfolio objective. Regardless of choice, Advisor will ask each client their preference and obtain any signatures needed for discretionary trading for example. |
Will you be the only person working with me?Yes, Christian maintains a small office by design and is growing and scaling his office slowly in order to provide exceptional service, and follow-up time for clients. |
