Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Your Fee Structure?
Comprehensive financial planning is a flat fee service, with an up-front fee followed by an ongoing quarterly fee (starting from quarter 2). Investment Management is charged as a % of assets we manage – payable quarterly in arrears. If these continuous services are not right for you, we offer several one-time services which are priced per service. To learn more about our fees, please visit our PRICING page.
Are you a fiduciary?
Yes we are. As a fiduciary, fee-only financial advisory firm, we have no conflicts of interest. We refuse commissions, referral fees or any other sort of kickbacks. Our only interest is you! This means that you as the client will always come first and we will have no incentives beyond providing you with the best possible service.
Do you have custody of our assets?
No we do not, the assets are held at our custodian partner, Charles Schwab, in your name. You and you ONLY have full access to your accounts. In order for us to manage your portfolio, you will provide us a limited access to your accounts which enables us to trade on your behalf and to collect our fees when they are due.
My financial accounts are scattered. Will you help consolidate them?
Absolutely. We not only help you with recommendations of how to consolidate, we will help you with all the necessary paper work to facilitate the transfers as required.
