Our Approach

Advocacy

As an independent Registered Investment Advisor, we are fee-based and free to act on your behalf and in your best interests. We do not accept any form of investment-based commissions whatsoever.

We offer no proprietary products, choosing instead to work with a team of experienced money managers employing modern asset allocation strategies. 

Because we are paid by you, not the investment companies, our interests are in direct alignment with yours. As your advocate, we’ll manage your team of professionals so you don’t have to.

Process

When you meet with us the first time, there will be no paperwork to sign.

We would like to build a lasting relationship forged in trust and expertise. We will coach you on what you should know about choosing an advisor and share with you what we believe to be the best practices in that regard.

Should you decide to work with us, our goal will be to understand your unique self to ensure the plan we develop with you “feels right” and is a workable tool for you to use in order to achieve your goals. Find out what we do and how we do it, with your BEST Life in mind.
