Instead of being in a rush-to-risk, our dedication to comprehensive wealth management is carefully focused on achieving client performance expectations.

Fee-Only
We are a Fee Only Registered Investment Advisor. We charge from .50% to 1.5% based on the amount of your assets under our management.
Performance-Based
We do not get paid unless we deliver investment performance.
The management of your portfolio is prudently regulated by your specific preferences for types of investments, safety, preservation, income, growth, and desired return versus risk intensity. Target performance benchmarks appropriate for your portfolio are discussed and agreed upon.
Those and other important factors and qualifications are fully discussed and approved in advance with your Certified Financial Planner and Portfolio Manager. That information is prudently documented in your Investment Policy Statement (IPS). Your IPS is an important document providing careful oversight making sure you and your adviser are on the same page for achieving your goals.
We are dedicated to providing a completely transparent environment. We believe the best decisions are calm, wise, objective decisions where nothing occurs until all parties are in complete agreement on important issues of financial stewardship.
Do you provide a free initial consultation?
