Q.	Do you have a customer satisfaction or refund policy?
Yes, I guarantee the complete satisfaction of my financial planning services and will refund financial planning fees if the client is not satisfied.

Q.	How are you compensated? How will I pay for your services?
We are fee only. The client has the option to pay a percentage of assets under our management or a flat fixed annual fee. The client will receive both financial planning and investment advice under ONE fee regardless of the path the client chooses.

Q.

If you are going to manage my account, will you obtain my permission every time you buy or sell something?

We typically manage client accounts on a "discretionary" basis. Meaning we do not require permission and/or discussion for every buy or sell transaction. Client objectives and many other factors are discussed upfront and reviewed on an on-going basis. We feel this is the preferred method from both the client's perspective and ours. We do accommodate new clients by discussing transitions more frequently if requested by the client.

Q.	Will you be the only person working with me?
I am my client's go-to for financial planning and investment discussions. Being available for my clients is important to me. We have great client service professionals to help with forms, updates, administrative details, etc. and a portfolio management team to oversee day-to-day trading, transactions, monitoring, research and analysis. All team members can be made available when needed.

Q.	Have you ever been charged with any breaches?
No.

Q.

What is your approach to financial planning?

Financial Planning is a process. The initial stage defines the relationship with the client and gathers all necessary data including goals and hard facts. I prefer to use technology to simplify this process. From there, I review, organize, analyze and put the data into the context of the client's situation. I review projections, scenarios, and strategies with the client to help them make actionable decisions to improve their finances. Financial planning with me is a collaborative process and it is my goal to empower my clients with my experience, knowledge and our conversations to help them organize, understand, and make positive decisions. My strong belief is that financial planning is not a book or written document. It is on-going, flexible, and changes as the client's life changes or the external environment changes. This requires technology to help keep data up-to-date and has it's roots in advice, not sales.

Q.	What services do you offer?
I act as a Fiduciary to my clients. I start by understanding my clients financial goals and needs. Years of experience and knowledge drive client results. I build long-term relationships with my clients to help them through different phases of their life.

Q.	What services do you provide? What are your specialties?
I provide investment management and financial planning services on a fee-only basis. I specialize in investment management, cash flow analysis, tax minimization over a lifetime, retirement planning and education planning. I know when other professionals need to be consulted for their expertise to help my clients.

Q.	What is your experience? How many clients do you currently manage?
I have been a financial advisor for over 16 years. I have dealt with all situations including pre-retirement (accumulation/transition), retirement (income/distribution), estate planning and multiple other client objectives. My client family is growing and has room for the right relationships.

Q.	What financial institution(s) do you represent?
Blue Bell Private Wealth Management, LLC is an independent Registered Investment Advisor. We do not custody (hold) client assets. We use Charles Schwab & Co. to custody client assets and provide brokerage services.

Q.	How long does the process of rolling over a 401K plan usually take?
This depends on the 401k provider. Our team works with all involved parties to ensure and communicate a smooth transfer.

Q.	What financial institutions do you represent?
We are an independent firm, we avoid conflicts of interest and only answer to our clients. We have chosen Charles Schwab & Co. to custody client assets under our management and our firm controls the relationship with all service providers we engage with for technology platforms.

Q.	How many years of experience do you have?
I started in 2005. I have significant experience and I am looking forward to a long career helping my clients.

Q.	Why should I roll over my 401K plan to your firm?
Knowledge, experience, skill, dedication, fairness, transparency and most importantly trust.
