I believe that money should fuel the life you love. I invest on your behalf with your interests first.


FIDUCIARY INVESTMENT SERVICES



  • Fees and Net Results

    The Fiduciary Way | We do better when you do better.


    We believe that Advisoy Programs offer flexibility, liquidity, and a broad amount of options for clients.


    With advisory programs, clients pay an agreed-upon rate. It is factor-based and is generally tiered so that your rate goes down as your overall balance goes up. 


    Here is your chance to understand what an advisory schedule might look like.


    An example of a tiered advisory rate schedule might look something like this for an account:

    • First $100,000 @1.55%
    • Next $400,000 @ 1.35%
    • Next $500,000 @ .7%
    • Next $1,000,000 @.5%
    • Additonal funds @ .25%

    Book time  on the phone and  request a fee schedule for your circumstances


    Let's do the math:

    Example #1: The annualized tiered-rate equivalent for a $500,000  account balance would be ~1.39%.

    -If the quarterly market balance were $500,000, then the advisory debit for that quarter would be about $1737.50. 


    Example #2:  If the account balance were $2,000,000, the annualized  tiered-rate equivalent would be ~0.77%.


    Advisory expenses are debited from investment accounts on a quarterly basis. Clients pay an agreed-upon rate that can be customized. The above examples are for informational purposes only. Review the LPL Service Fee Schedule, Propsectus material, and Third Party Manager information, to understand total expenses an investor may incur.  Discuss and compare advisory programs and  learn about your options .



    Accounts are generally billed at an account level. One account may use a different advisory program than another account. One account may have different objectives and use different investments.

    An implicit assumption: We both care about your portfolio's net results.


    I focus on what the NET result may be for you, the client. Call me crazy, but I think it matters what your portfolio keeps!


    • I discuss results with peers often and vet investment ideas across multiple resources.
    • I  pay attention to your portfolio expenses, taxes, insurance, investments, social security, income, family dynamics, and health. 
    • Your investment objectives, income needs, timeframe, and overall investment costs can contribute to your net portfolio results. This is why paying attention to your net result and having an average target portfolio result is important.
  • A Fiduciary Service

    Investment Advisory Services


    Advisory services use advisor directed and third party framework to pursue your goals over time. A fiduciary role is upheld for this service. 

  • Access to us and your money

    A Personable, Accountable, and Accessible Process


    All of my retirement plan and investment clients have direct access to me and my financial consulting office. I reinforce this access with customizable financial dashboards and online account log-in. Wealth Vision powered by eMoney can aggregate all of your financial and retirement accounts, and backup legal and estate documents - not to mention family photos. eMoney provides retirement and investment calculators to see how much you have saved for retirement, college savings, and other money goals - all in real time.


    Need Some of Your Money? Give my office a call to request money. Many clients link their bank account to their retirement and investment accounts. This way getting a little extra money is as simple as calling in when you need a little extra for a surprise expense or holiday gift. 


    Tax Planning and Tax Season

    I can collaborate with your tax professional and review your tax return. We do tax savvy reviews  to assist clients with QCDs and RMDs, but also creating deductible retirement plan contributions in a timely manner.


    Account View Log-In: Access your accounts online to check in on your results. Relate your questions back to us.


I am accepting new clients. Client candidates who have not been referred should expect to have a minimum of $500,000 to invest. We do not maintain a minimum for immediate family of clients. Referrals should expect to have a minimum of $100,000 to invest.

How I See Fees Differently

I strive to show clients the net value of the investments they make.


Disclosures, prospectuses, and commissions that get tucked under the table can confuse clients.

I do business in a way that shows you what the VALUE of an investment and advisory cost is.


We inform clients that we are fairly compensated for our work. Our advisory services are crafted to be in sync with your success, ensuring mutual benefit. I will always communicate clearly with my clients about fees, and remind you of your net results - because what you keep matters.


I believe in transparency, so we'll always talk through the advantages and potential drawbacks of different options. When you trust us with your significant finances, know that we take that trust seriously. If I see you veering into risky territory, I'll let you know. Similarly, if it seems like you're playing it too safe, it is my job to bring that to your attention, too.


Are You a Candidate?

An Informed Investment Process

From the onset clients hear me talk about how there is no such thing as the perfect portfolio.


We stand as the guard between flashy yet risky investment trends and solid, time-tested strategies. Since the dawn of modern investing, the options have exploded, with over 7,500 mutual funds alone. Amid this cacophony, anyone can pose as an expert, armed with just a cheap microphone and YouTube channel. But wisdom doesn't come from social media soundbites.


Our mission is clear: distilling the noise, sieving through endless options, and acting on what truly matters for your financial well-being. We're here to offer vetted, prudent advice, untainted by hype or fads. This is about your future, and we're dedicated to navigating it together.


The blueprint for your investment decisions

1. INSIGHT AND
ENVIRONMENT


Where are we in an economic cycle?

What ideas do we feel are in favor? What overall allocations are advised? Are there ideas that  we feel are undervalued or overlooked?


2. client input and starting point

What is the clients  take on the current environment? What is your starting point with us today? Are we prepared for setbacks and health expectations?

3. Your Dependency Factor™️


We put emphasis on a client’s Dependency Factor™️. How much of your money will you depend on to live comfortably or realize a short-term goal or purchase?


4. IMPLEMENTATION


Are we “all-in” and moving forward with our portfolio? Or do we prefer to wade in? Are we starting our climb or sitting at basecamp? Are we placing a preference on thematic ideas or low-cost index solutions?




5. MONITORING AND
ACCOUNTABILITY


We check-in at implementation. But monitoring our client positions is a given. Market events and client life changes can cause us to revisit Step 1-4.

Investing involves risk including loss of principal.

There is no guarantee that a diversified portfolio will enhance overall returns or outperform a non-diversified portfolio.

Diversification and asset allocation do not protect against market risk. References to markets, asset classes, and sectors are generally regarding the corresponding market index. Indexes are unmanaged statistical composites and cannot be invested into directly. Index performance is not indicative of the performance of any investment and do not reflect fees, expenses, or sales charges.

No strategy assures success or protects against loss.
