In a world where personal financial issues become increasingly complex, we can help discern the true from the false, the practical from the useless, the probable from the merely possible, and the applicable from the merely interesting. Your family’s unique circumstances can be better served with such expertise. We are investors, not speculators. We manage our clients' investment portfolios but we do not “play the market,” try to time the market or otherwise gamble with our client’s money. We are realistic. We do not believe in following investment gurus. We consider the mainstream financial media as mostly a source of entertainment and not a meaningful aid to sound decision-making. We are paid only by our clients to perform our duties as fiduciaries. There are no sales incentives, contests, kickbacks, or any other third-party compensation. We are compensated based upon how your portfolio performs, and are not paid based on transactions. We are not restricted to a list of products selected by an employer, such as a bank, insurance company or brokerage firm. This maximizes our objectivity. You should never wonder if what we recommend is in your best interest or ours. We get paid only for as long as you want us to advise you. Our fees are fully disclosed. In each quarterly report, you will receive a fee calculation, so you know exactly what you are paying us. We seek to minimize all of your other costs whenever it is advisable and possible to do so.
