Frequently Asked Questions

Questions? We Have Answers

Clear, transparent answers about our wealth management approach, fee structures, and client collaboration process.

Let’s Talk
  • We maintain a transparent fee structure. Investment advisory services are billed as an annual percentage based on assets under management (AUM), while standalone financial planning services may be billed as a flat or hourly rate. All fee schedules are clearly reviewed and agreed upon prior to beginning any advisory relationship.
  • We primarily focus on serving families, pre-retirees, retirees, and women in transition, and, while we do not have a strict minimum investable amount, we do want to make sure that we evaluate every client relationship individually, and we welcome the opportunity to discuss your specific financial objectives during an initial call.
  • Most clients choose to meet for formal planning reviews once or twice per year to track progress, adjust for life changes, and evaluate portfolio allocation. Additionally, our team remains accessible throughout the year to answer questions or update your plan as unexpected events occur.
  • Yes. As investment adviser representatives, we act in a fiduciary capacity for our advisory accounts. This means we are legally and ethically bound to act in your best interest, providing clear guidance and disclosing any potential conflicts of interest.
  • Market fluctuations are an expected component of investing. We build disciplined strategies aligned with your risk tolerance and target timeline before volatility occurs. During market pullbacks, we stay focused on your long-term plan, reviewing opportunities for rebalancing or tax-efficient adjustments.
  • Yes. Your assets remain held with independent qualified custodians, and you retain access to your funds. As part of our comprehensive planning process, we work with you to structure short-term liquidity reserves so you can handle unexpected expenses without disrupting long-term investment strategies.
  • Our typical client is someone who is looking for help in navigating the complex and frustrating world of finance and retirement planning. We seek to help them through our retirement planning process, which includes analyzing expected lifestyle expenses, evaluating Social Security claim timing strategies, health and Medicare planning, tax and Roth conversion techniques, coordinating distribution plans across taxable and tax-deferred accounts, and structuring income sources designed to support your long-term needs.
  • Financial plans are living documents. When significant life changes occur—such as a career transition, inheritance, family update, or shift in retirement timing—we refine your portfolio strategy and wealth plan to align with your new priorities.
