Fees
You need full disclosure when it comes to the fees you’ll be paying for financial planning and/or investment management services. Prior to any commitment, you should understand exactly what services to expect, and exactly how much those services will cost.
We are fee based advisors. Fee based advice is rightfully required in a fiduciary relationship, and puts your advisor on the same side of the table. Insisting on a fiduciary relationship is the most important criteria in choosing a financial planner or investment advisor, as they’re legally required to act only in your best interest.
Fee based advisors are incentivized to produce long-term positive results, rather than being largely compensated upfront. Our investment fees can be found on our Annual Disclosure Form Form ADV Part 2 (PDF) | Form ADV Part 3 (PDF). Please note that discounts are applied to bundled services, which are based on the combination of products and services that would be most valuable to you.
