Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about our asset management services.
Our fees are based on a percentage of assets under management, with the percentage decreasing as account balances increase. We believe this alignment of interests encourages a long-term partnership. We provide complete fee transparency with no hidden costs or commissions. During your initial consultation, we'll provide a detailed fee schedule based on your specific situation.
We follow an evidence-based approach that emphasizes broad diversification, strategic asset allocation, and disciplined rebalancing. Rather than trying to predict market movements or pick individual securities, we focus on capturing market returns efficiently while managing risk through appropriate asset allocation based on your specific goals and risk tolerance.
We determine your optimal asset allocation through a comprehensive process that considers your financial goals, time horizon, risk capacity, and personal risk tolerance. This involves both quantitative assessment tools and thoughtful conversations about your comfort with market fluctuations and previous investment experiences.
We monitor portfolios continuously and typically conduct formal review meetings annually for most clients. However, we're flexible based on your preferences and needs. Clients with more complex situations or those going through significant life transitions may benefit from more frequent reviews.
