We aim to educate and empower our clients, which is why we value education over pushing products. Our investment strategies are based on academic research, not Wall Street fads.

We serve you solely in a fiduciary capacity, which means that we always put your interests first.

A fee-only compensation structure that eliminates conflicts of interest

Full disclosure of the total costs relating to your financial engagement

With a transparent fee structure, our clients always know what to expect.

Regularly scheduled review meetings and performance reporting

We want you to feel empowered and informed about your financial health.

A promise that we will always place you at the center of everything we do

We build close relationships and maintain constant dialogues to ensure everything we do drives you closer to your goals.

Transparent Fee Structure

We're only compensated by fees paid by our clients. We receive no other payment from any other source. We charge separate fees for financial planning and investment advisory services.

Investment Advisory

The investment advisory fee is based on a fee schedule and is subject to a minimum annual investment advisory fee of $9,000. The minimum is waived, however, for the first six months of a financial planning engagement.

Financial Planning

The initial financial planning fee is based on the complexity of your situation and determined in advance of the engagement. Annual financial plan update fees are typically 40% of the initial financial planning fee.

Our annual investment advisory fee schedule for assets under management:

Portion of assets up to $1,000,000: .90%

Portion of assets between $1,000,000 and $10,000,000: .50%

Portion of assets in excess of $10,000,000: .25%

EXAMPLE

For $3,000,000 under management, the calculation would be:

First $1,000,000 x .009 = $9,000

Next $2,000,000 x .005 = $10,000

Annual Investment Advisory Fee = $19,000

Wealth management for wherever life takes you.
