Frequently Asked Questions |
|
Q. |
Do you have a customer satisfaction or refund policy? |
|
When you are a licensed Portfolio Manager, you are not allowed to offer a refund policy--per SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) rules. This is to ensure that no manager makes promises that he/she cannot keep. All investments bear the risk of loss. |
|
Q. |
How are you compensated? How will I pay for your services? |
|
The majority of our business is managing discretionary accounts. We charge an annual fee based on assets invested with the firm. This is billed monthly, and is based on the average daily account balance during the billing period. The fee comes out of your account monthly, and appears on your statement. |
|
Q. |
If you are going to manage my account, will you obtain my permission every time you buy or sell something? |
|
In our managed accounts (discretionary), we have the ability to trade on your behalf without getting permission each time. Because each security in your account is intentionally selected as part of the larger portfolio, we only allow restricted securities on a case-by-case basis. |
|
Q. |
How many clients do you currently manage? |
|
The majority of our business is managing discretionary accounts. We work with about 400 families. We would be happy to offer referrals from current clients with their permission. |
|
Q. |
Will you be the only person working with me? |
|
No, Mr. Severin and Mr. Whitlock have a staff that includes two office administrators, and an additional Portfolio Manager that can assist with your accounts. This allows us the flexibility to always have someone available to assist you. |
|
Q. |
Do you offer any guaranteed results? |
|
No we do not. There are risks involved with any investment. Whether you are investing in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, annuities, currencies, etc., they all run the risk of losing money over time. However, we will show you how properly diversifying your investments can reduce this risk to your portfolio. |
|
Q. |
How much risk should I be willing to take? |
|
This depends on your own definition of risk, and how comfortable you are with taking a loss. There are risk/reward ratios attached to each portfolio. We will educate you on what is available and help you determine which portfolio(s) best suit you. In addition to risk/reward, we also need to evaluate your choice based on your age, and total assets invested. |
|
Q. |
Have you ever been charged with any breaches? |
|
Q. |
What is your approach to financial planning? |
|
The current economic times we live in are unique, but the time-tested methods of prudent financial planning remain. We start by gathering an inventory of all assets and liabilities, we assess appetite for risk and then develop an investment plan that aligns with the goals of each client. Our portfolio is actively managed and requires a more hands-on approach to investing. We no longer can afford to buy and then forget about our investments. With Severin, your accounts are monitored daily, and we make tactical changes to the portfolios in response to when the markets/economy dictate. |
|
Q. |
What services do you offer? |
|
Financial Planning, Portfolio Management, Estate Planning, 401(k) plans/rollovers, Annuities, and Long-term care insurance. In addition to individualized client services, we also offer turn-key asset management platforms for other advisory practices. |
|
Q. |
Why should I choose you as my financial advisor? |
|
At Severin Investments, we believe investor success begins by taking a holistic look at our clients, their individual situations, and their long-term goals and objectives. By starting with the full picture, we are able to effectively address the common pitfalls that accompany a family's finances and advanced planning concerns. |
|
Q. |
How do you charge for your services? |
|
We charge a fee on the total number of assets under management that is billed monthly on the average daily account balance for each month. |
|
Q. |
What services do you provide? What are your specialties? |
|
We are a full service portfolio management firm. our specialty lies in managing portfolios of stocks, bonds, and ETFs in order to take advantage of market conditions. However, we also provide insurance, and will work with you to determine what level of coverage you need and locate the most affordable option. We also provide financial planning services. Although more comprehensive or complex financial plans are available for an additional hourly rate. |
|
Q. |
What financial institution(s) do you represent? |
|
We are independent, which means we have no agenda to push one investment over another. |
