Frequently Asked Questions
What are your fees?
We charge asset management fees based on the value of investments we manager for you. For comprehensive family office services, we may charge separate fees. We don’t receive commissions from product sales or hidden payments from investment companies. This fee-only structure means our success is directly tied to yours – we benefit when your wealth grows and share in the impact when markets decline. As an independent firm, we recommend what serves your best interest without corporate or outside pressure to sell specific products. We provide complete fee transparency upfront, so that there is never a conflict of interest, surprise costs or undisclosed arrangements.
