Get the Answers You Need
We’re here to address all your important questions.
We understand it can be tough to know where to start when selecting a financial advisory firm to work with. Here are some of the key questions you should ask, along with insightful answers from our team.
Who Is Your Typical Client?
Our clients' ages range from 1 month to 98 years old. They come from the coast of California to Connecticut and 17 states in between. From young professionals investing in property to retirees looking to finance their next vacation, our clients reap the benefits of investing for their future. We seek to meet our clients’ needs by tailoring financial advice in partnership with our clients, who take the time to be involved in the planning process.
Do you have a minimum account size?
No. Remember, one of our many goals includes helping our clients create wealth.
What process do you use to monitor individual clients accounts?
Our planning efforts are extremely focused on a handful of investment companies and insurance carriers. Staying focused allows us to keep our clients updated about investment performance, fund changes, and more. Having regular meetings helps us to monitor your portfolios. We also hope that if you have a life event (marriage, divorce, birth of child or grandchild, family illness, change in job), you will contact us, so we can make appropriate recommendations.
Will I be notified if I should be moving my money or making changes with my investments?
During our initial meetings, we will spend considerable time determining your risk tolerance, investment objectives, and short- and long-term investment goals. All investment recommendations are based on your individual needs. We have found that once the initial investment allocations have been determined and we meet with you for scheduled reviews, this process eliminates the need for constant change. If your investment objective changes, or if the investment itself changes, we will reach out to discuss whether adjustments are needed.
What investment companies do you work with?
With the help of our broker/dealer, Commonwealth Financial Network®, we are able to offer virtually all investment companies. Being an independent advisor allows us to offer what is best for you, the client. Service comes in two forms: services to our clients and service to our offices. We want to work with investment companies that have strong administration and a long-term commitment to investors and to ourselves as advisors.
