A Registered Investment Adviser is a professional financial firm that provides advice on securities and manages assets for investors. Each firm must register with state regulators or the SEC.

An investment adviser is held to the “fiduciary standard,” which means that these advisors must place clients’ interests above their own. It also means that they must avoid conflicts of interest and act with prudence.

On the other hand, a financial advisor is a more general term that refers to an advisor held to the “suitability standard.” This standard means that recommendations must “suit” the client, but suitability is not as stringent as fiduciary standards.

We will start by scheduling an initial meeting with you to understand your current situation and goals. Then, based on what services are a good fit for you, we will enter into an advisory agreement outlining the services to be performed and our terms.

Your Investment Advisor strongly believes in a strategic approach that consists of a diversified asset allocation.
