FEES:
We believe in fair, transparent financial advisory fees that are easy to understand. We apply a tiered fee structure to the entire balance of assets under management. As a fee-only firm, we only get compensated by the client. We do not earn commissions of any kind for product sales or referrals. At our discretion, we reserve the right to negotiate fees.
How we minimize expenses: We evaluate fees to ensure that any fees are justified in the context of expected risk and returns. We seek mutual funds and exchange-traded funds with low operating expense ratios (OER) and select funds with lower than category-average expenses compared to their peers. As an institutional investment firm, we have access to institutional share classes that tend to have lower expenses than those available to individual investors.
