Separately Managed Accounts
Security and Transparency
Grow Your Wealth, Your Way.
A separately managed account is a portfolio of individual securities managed on your behalf by our Certified Financial Professionals.
You own the individual securities, which can provide the ownership, control, and transparency you deserve while giving us the discretion to act on your behalf as your fiduciary. Your accounts are not commingled with others and are in your complete control. We’ll work with you to structure the portfolio of low-cost index funds, ETFs, and zero commission products that realize your goals and is in line with your risk profile.
However, that’s just the beginning.
We will meet regularly with you to make certain that we are on track to meet your goals and your expectations. There, our CFP® Certified Financial Planners will explain to you the fees charged during that quarter, but, more importantly, they will show you the value we added to your portfolio to earn those fees.
