Commonly Asked Questions

What’s the difference between fee-only and fee-based advisors?

Fee-only advisors only receive compensation from the fees their clients pay them. These fees are typically a percentage of the assets under management (AUM). Fee-only advisors are held to a fiduciary standard.

Fee-based advisors receive compensation from client fees, as well as commissions or brokerage fees from selling products to their clients.

How do your fees work?

We are Fee-only. Our fees are transparent and billed quarterly based on the assets we manage. For example, if you have 1 million in assets under our management, your fee is 1%. Your rate is reduced as your portfolio size increases.

Where are my assets held?

We are independent and work with a number of custodians, including Fidelity and Schwab.

How often will we meet?

When you first become a client, we meet often, typically quarterly the first year. After the first year we recommend at least one face-to-face meeting per year. We proactively communicate between meetings and throughout the year by phone and email.

Will you work with other financial professionals of mine?

Yes, we regularly collaborate with your attorney and accountant to ensure a coordinated and comprehensive approach, helping you streamline decision-making and maximize your financial outcomes."
