"The Secret to Winning is Constant, Consistent Management”
Tom Landry, National Football League Hall of Fame Coach

We work with our clients to develop an investment plan that fits their goals and objectives. We tailor that plan for each individual; be it growth, income, or capital preservation as the main objective.

We focus on *fee-based investment management. In a fee-based relationship, we are compensated based on the value of the assets under management. This minimizes the potential conflict of interest associated with a commission based account, where an advisor is paid on each transaction.

We have the ability to provide **discretionary portfolio management, which can be helpful for those individuals who are not comfortable making investment decisions, who may not have investment experience, or who may not have the time to dedicate to their portfolios. Of course each client has the final say on their portfolio and maintaints full control over their account; however the daily management and investment decisions are left to the professionals.

Some investors prefer to call all the shots themselves. We offer our advice on investments, monitor the progress, and provide each investor with a high level of customer service. As an advisory client, we will keep track of your portfolio, assist you in manageing your security positions, and offer recommendations for current and future investments.

As a client of ours, we provide periodic reviews of your progress to help make sure you are staying on course with your overall financial objectives.

*Must meet investment minimums to be eligble for a fee-based account. In an asset-based fee relationship, you pay an annual fee (charged quarterly) based on the level of assets for the advice and services provided by your financial advisor as a part of the advisory relationship. This fee is based on the level of assets in your account, independent of the level of trading activity. By deciding to pay a fee based on services provided rather than transactions, you should understand that the fee may be higher than the cost of a commission alternative during periods of lower trading activity.

**Approved on a case by case basis.

Investment Advice
  
We can work with your outside accounts on a consulting basis. For example, giving advise on a employer sponsored 401(k) plan. As investment advisor representatives, we offer fee-based investment advice on a contractual basis. We can assist in tracking and consulting on your portfolio based on risk tolerance and financial objective, even when your choices are limited, like a 401(k) often is.

When forced to choose from a menu of selected investments, investors often equaly allocate across the ‘best looking’ choices. This can potentially be a critical error as the investor may end up being over allocated in a poor performer, or conversly, under allocated in a good perfomer. This is especially an issue when the investment decisions are based on the past results of the investments chosen. We work with our advisory clients to review and select the most suitable choices available. When market conditions warrant a change, clients are notified with the necessary action and the reasoning behind our advice. We do not select a predermined date in the future to review the positions in the account. The investments recommended are monitored on a continued basis with critical action points identified.

When it comes to your largest retirement savings, like your employer sponsored 401(k) plan, doesn’t it make sense to have professional advice? We do not use a computer model, or a large mass marketed, investment service that will select a pie chart that best fits your needs. We work on a personal level to identify your goals, objectives, and the best opportunities available to you.
