FAQS
After a complete analysis of your financial situation, we give you specific recommendations along with a side-by-side comparison of your current cost versus the cost of moving forward with us. Our fee is a percentage of the assets we manage, with no separate fee for additional planning services. It ranges from .10% to 1.75%, averaging around 1%, depending on the amount invested and scope of services.
Yes, $500,000 in investable assets. That minimum exists so the depth of planning you receive, research, coordination, and a full team behind your accounts, is worth the fee you're paying. There's no upper limit on how much you can invest with us.
We offer investment management, retirement planning, tax minimization, and estate planning, coordinated into one plan rather than handled separately. Clients with $1 million or more in investable assets also have access to our Private Client Group, which adds additional planning benefits across all four areas.
Yes. We're registered to serve clients in 34 states. Some clients work with us entirely virtually and have never been to one of our offices. Others split their time between meeting in person and virtually, including a number of clients who spend winters in a warmer state.
We work best with people over 50 who are within five years of retirement or already retired, with $500,000 or more in investable assets. We also work with business owners who will be selling or transitioning their business to the next generation of owners. Many of our clients come to us after working with a previous advisor, or managing things on their own, and are surprised to discover services they didn't know existed. If that sounds like you, the best way to find out if we're the right fit is a quick call.
