Who we are.
frequently asked questions
Are You a fiduciary?
Always! Not only are we a fiduciary, but we take it a step further by being a fee-only advisory firm.
is fee-only and fee-based the same?
Not at all. Fee-based is a confusing, similar-sounding phrase that means the Advisor can charge a fee AND make commissions from other products. Rather, we are fee-ONLY.
Can you do limited-scope engagements?
Yes, most of the time. Depending on the situation, we can be hired to listen, discuss and provide advice on an hourly basis. For clients with a high net worth ($2+ million), we will require a more in-depth planning process.
i have a lot of debt, can you help?
Maybe. For clients with limited cash flow, minimal assets, and significant debt, we might not be the best fit for long-term budget accountability or bankruptcy evaluations.
is asset management required?
No, but many of our higher net worth clients choose for us to manage their liquid assets to achieve lower-stress and confidence that portfolio adjustments are made in a precise and timely manner.
do you have client minimums?
No, but our services are more cost-effective for clients who have financial means.
Our Asset Management services generally have a $1 million minimum.
what is your investment philosophy?
We believe that lower-cost, diversified portfolios are a far more prudent way to grow and preserve wealth over time.
We believe high expenses and personal biases/behavior - that all people are susceptible to - can erode wealth over time.
