|
|
| Q. |
Will you be the only person working with me? |
| |
We employ a team approach. All clients work with one of our two partners. |
|
| Q. |
How are you compensated? How will I pay for your services? |
| |
We are compensated only through the explicit fees you pay us. Contrary to industry practice, we do not profit from your accounts through any "pay to play" mechanisms or hidden fees. |
|
| Q. |
If you are going to manage my account, will you obtain my permission every time you buy or sell something? |
| |
We manage our accounts using our discretion. However, if a client would like to "test" our services, we are happy to request permission to trade their account for a limited time. Our firm is not a "trading" firm, however, we do periodically rebalance or exchange investments. |
|
| Q. |
Do you offer any guaranteed results? |
| |
We do not guarantee performance. |
|
| Q. |
Have you ever been charged with any breaches? |
| |
We have not been charged with any breaches. The partners, as well as all staff, each have undergone a background check prior to hiring. |
|
| Q. |
What services do you provide? What are your specialties? |
| |

Financial Planning for individuals. |
|
| Q. |
How do you charge for your services? |
| |
We are a fee only firm. The only compensation we make is the fee that is explicitly charged to our clients. Contrary to industry practice, we do not profit from your accounts through any "pay to play" mechanisms or hidden fees. |
|
| Q. |
Do you provide a free initial consultation? |
| |
We provide complimentary consultations and meetings. We believe there must be both a professional and personal respect in order for the relationship to be mutually beneficial. |
|
| Q. |
Why should I choose you as my financial advisor? |
| |
Independence- We do not rely on research carried out by firm's with investment banking.
Diligence- Our rigorous analytical procedures benefit our client's performance.
Transparency- We do not participate in 'pay to play' or shelf space payments. |
|
| Q. |
What are your management fees? |
| |
We offer our services compensated by a percentage of the asset fee, which depends on both plan asset size, as well as average balance per participant. We can typically significantly decrease the overall cost of the plan by having a more straightforward delivery than the typical insurance or mutual fund based plan. |
|
| Q. |
Do you have a minimum requirement for number of employees or total investment value? |
| |
Our minimum plan size is $400,000, however, we reserve the right to increase that minimum or reject any plan. |
|
| Q. |
What type of plans do you offer? |
| |
401(k), PSP, 401(m), Money Purchase Pension Plan, Sep-IRA, Defined Benefit Pension Plan |
|
| Q. |
Do you offer any additional services? |
| |
We will provide participant education and, if requested, individual sessions with participants. |
|
| Q. |
What are your qualifications? |
| |
The Chartered Financial Analyst designation, coined "the gold standard" by The Economist magazine ensures a level of investment knowledge unparalleled by any other designatation. |
|
| Q. |
What is your approach to 401 K plan rollovers? |
| |
We must determine if rolling out of the previous 401(K) is the right move. Sometimes (but not often), the previous 401(k) will provide a lower cost/higher quality alternative than what the client could get on their own. If it is decided that rolling over is the best move, we take the reins from the client and relieve them of the administrative burden. |
|
| Q. |
How long does the process of rolling over a 401K plan usually take? |
| |
It depends on the rules that the 401(k) plan has. A "trustee to trustee" transfer is where they can send the assets directly to the next custodian. In that case, the rollover can take days. If that particular 401(k) plan does not allow "trustee to trustee" transfers, it can take up to 15 days. |
|
| Q. |
What financial institutions do you represent? |
| |
We are an independent firm and do not represent or have any financial ties to any financial institutions. Our clients enjoy the independence that we have in providing the widest array of solutions. |
|
| Q. |
How many years of experience do you have? |
|
| Q. |
What are your fees for this service? |
| |
We charge nothing for the 401(k) rollover. Our services are compensated when we manage the fees for a percentage of the assets. |
|
| Q. |
Why should I roll over my 401K plan to your firm? |
| |
As a fiduciary, we have the duty to keep your interests above our own. This is important to clients in the initial step of choosing whether to rollover- as well as throughout the relationship. |
|
| Q. |
Do you provide a free initial consultation? |
| |
We provide complimentary consultations and meetings. We believe there must be both a professional and personal respect in order for the relationship to be mutually beneficial. |
