How to Start
If you desire to open an
account with us, please call our office to schedule an initial
consultation, whether in person or over the phone. We recommend that you
answer the brief questionnaire included on our website, or ask us to
send it to you. After we get the questionnaire back, we will call you
and confirm your appointment
During the meeting, we will
discuss with you your goals, risk tolerance, and your current situation
so we can assess how to best design strategies suitable to your
situation. There is a $200.00 one-time charge for this consultation.
Subsequent to the meeting, we
will send you the proper forms and documents authorizing us to be your
investment advisors. Once we have those back, we will open an account
for you at a custodian firm.
You will then allow us to
transfer your funds to your custodian, or you can write checks directly
to the custodian firm. We will not have possession of your funds, but
we will ask you to sign the proper authorization so we may manage your
funds.
Once your funds are
transferred to the custodian, we will implement the strategy appropriate
to your situation. We will charge a one-time fee for the initial
implementation of the strategy. This fee (0.5% of assets) will also
cover the first quarter. Thereafter, we will send you at least quarterly
reports and our management fee will be billed quarterly to be deducted
automatically from your account. Annual management fees are 1% for the
first $500,000, 0.8% for the second $500,000 and 0.6% for amounts over
$1 million, subject to a minimum quarterly fee of $250.
