Benefits of Working with an Independent Investment Adviser
Understand exactly what you are paying for
We charge a fee based on a percentage of total assets managed. This fee structure is simple, transparent and easy to understand.
Know where your money is held
Our clients' assets are held at independent qualified third-party custodians. Each have strong balance sheets, and their primary business is servicing client assets rather than trading for their own accounts. Clients have real time online access to accounts and transactions.
Separation of asset management and fund management functions
This separation improves transparency and accountability, limits the potential for conflicts of interest, and provides for multiple independent reviews and oversight of accounts.
Unaffiliated brokerage accounts have full regulatory protections
The customer protection rule ensures that your assets are held in customer accounts that are segregated from the brokerage firm's assets. Client accounts are covered by the Securities Investor Protection Corporation and private excess insurance above those limits.
