Frequently Asked Questions

Do you use mutual funds?

No. We manage individual stocks & ETFs. Clients pay our advisory (AUM) fee plus the ETF expense ratios—no mutual fund loads or 12b-1 fees.

Who holds my assets?

Accounts are custodied at Charles Schwab. SIPC/excess SIPC protections apply to broker failure (not market loss). You retain control and can see your accounts anytime.

Can we meet virtually?

Yes. Phone and video for all clients—including Michigan and Texas—with in-office meetings available in Scottsdale.

What's your minimum?

Generally $100,000+ in investable assets. (401(k)-only guidance is available as a flat-fee option—see our Fees page.)

Do you provide legal or tax advice?

We coordinate planning; legal/tax advice is provided by your attorney/CPA under a separate engagement. We have in-office partners if you need referrals.
