Fee-based wealth management more closely aligns the goals of the investor with that of the advisor. Unlike traditional advisors, we do not charge upfront commissions or invest funds through a deferred sales charge process where funds are “locked in” for up to 7 years. Clients are charged a monthly fee for a package of advisory services. Our fees are based on the complexity of your situation and the type of planning services that you need, and they reduce as the assets we manage for you increase.

Advantages
- Unlike traditional commission-based investing, a tiered advisory fee is utilized and results in lower percentage advisory fees when larger accounts are opened.
- For non-registered or corporate accounts, our advisory fees may be tax deductible.
- There is closer alignment with investor goals as it can be perceived that traditional commission based investing can be biased toward selling the most lucrative products and high turnover of investments to maximize commissions. Through a fee based portfolio we waive many of the the purchase and portfolio rebalancing commissions.
- There is clear compensation disclosure so you can see the services that you are receiving and what you are paying for them.
Options
-
Fee only. Our ideal wealth management engagement is on a
”fee-only” basis where we receive no product commissions and are only compensated by a clearly disclosed monthly advisory fee.
