How do you get paid?
Primary source of our compensation is outlined in the pricing section above. However, as a client-centric company, we offer the convenience of purchasing some commission-based financial and insurance products. For example, if your financial plan identifies life insurance gaps, you have the option to purchase it through our office. In this scenario, we collect commission from the insurance company. Alternatively, you can choose to work with your preferred insurance agent. The choice is yours.
Do I have enough money to work with you?
As part of our commitment to your success, our services and pricing model are uniquely designed to make professional guidance accessible to people from all walks of life, regardless of their net worth. Please refer to the pricing section above to estimate the cost of our engagement, and if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us below.
How do you manage assets?
We’re glad you’ve asked! Depending on your investment objectives and the level of assets you would like us to manage, we have several options for you to consider: 1. Actively Managed American Funds' Models: For those seeking active management and a proven track record, look no further. With investment minimums as low as $250, American Funds present a compelling solution catering to a wide range of investors with various risk tolerances and investment objectives. 2. In-House All-Weather Models: With investment minimum starting at $50,000, our All-Weather models are carefully constructed using Harry Markowitz's Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT). To ensure their resilience across diverse market conditions, we handpick a basket of cost-effective funds with historical data dating back to 1992 for our core holdings. But our commitment doesn't stop there. We consistently seek opportunities to enhance our models by including newer asset classes and emerging management styles. This ongoing refinement is designed to provide optimal value to our clients over time. 3. Custom Strategies: To ensure optimal diversification our Custom Strategies require a minimum investment of $250,000. For clients that seek to leverage our investment management expertise to build more sophisticated strategies this level of investment allows us to utilize individual stocks, bonds, and derivative products along with mutual and exchange traded funds without compromising optimal levels of diversification. If you would like to learn more, feel free to get in touch as we would be happy to guide you through these options and discuss them in more detail as needed.
Can I get help with my 401K?
Absolutely! In fact, our unique approach allows us to manage clients' 401Ks seamlessly even without requiring you to leave your existing plan. Here's how it works: 1. First, we check if your plan custodian is on the list of supported custodians on our platform. 2. If so, we'll then provide you with a link to authorize us to manage your 401K. 3. Once you grant us authorization, we'll gain access to all the investment options within your plan. This enables us to create a tailored portfolio that aligns with your specific investment objectives. Additionally, certain plans offer Self-Directed Brokerage Accounts (SDBAs), allowing us to explore investment opportunities beyond the standard options listed in your plan. This could enable further diversification and optimization of your portfolio volatility.
