Relationships & Why Fee Based | Relationships & Why Fee Based | | Print | |

My client relationships begin with a short one hour meeting to discuss your financial and life goals, your current situation and my ability to help you cross the bridge from today to tomorrow. I will ask various questions and review various documents, such as account statements and tax forms, to determine whether we believe that you and us (Annex and myself) would make a good team in building your finances to increasingly stronger positions. You will be able to ask all the questions you need of me, to also determine whether you believe we are a good fit for each other. My team and I offer investment management, as well as, financial, retirement and estate planning. In cases where a specialist is needed, such as an estate planning attorney or tax accountant, we can help you find that specialist or work with one you have selected, to chart a course towards achieving your goals. My mission, as stated on our front page is help you overcome the financial fears and obstacles that we all face, and take advantage of the opportunities that we meet, so that you can reach greater levels of freedom and inner peace, allowing you to pursue more of your life's dreams.Investment Advisory Services In a world flooded with stock brokers and financial products, investors frequently overlook the quiet success of private money management firms. As a registered investment advisory firm representative working on a fee basis, not a commission basis as brokers do, I work with clients to develop portfolios that are geared to your specific objectives. I have no allegiance to a particular investment or company. As a private money manager, I am free to focus on your portfolio. You are my employer.
I can manage your portfolio fully or partly myself, and also have access to some of the best money managers in the world to employ for all or a portion of your portfolio. In most cases, I manage portfolios in a core and tactical style, with a few top managers or subadvisors handling the moderately diversified core of the portfolio, while I manage the balance of the porfolio by weighting towards investment opportunities that I can confidently determine have higher probabilities of investment success with lower risk.
Financial Incentive: Fees vs. Commissions As a registered investment advisory firm representative, my fees are generally based on the value of your portfolio or billed hourly in some cases. In either case, I compare favorably to most commissioned brokers and financial products, as well as, the investment advisory industry. By managing expenses, I feel we can better perform over the long haul. I encourage you to compare your current investment management expenses to my fee scale and versus other representatives you might be talking to. Very importantly, by basing my fees on your account value, our financial interests are aligned. That is, we get a raise only when we make you money, and if you lose money short term, I automatically take a pay cut. In contrast, a stock broker receives a commission each time you buy or sell, no matter how well or how poorly your account performs, creating a serious conflict of interest in our opinion. Therefore, I believe that fee based money management firms like ours, are more fair and a better value than traditional firms.
