Yes, we are fiduciaries. Our fiduciary responsibility to you simply means we must exercise a duty of care and loyalty to you concerning every decision we make in managing your money and in the advice that we provide to you.

Yes, we have discretion over your account. Our Wealth Management team has the ability to determine if a certain trade is appropriate or not based on your investment goals and risk tolerance. Discretionary trading allows us to make changes in your account and stay on top of the ever-changing market conditions.

Because of our discretionary authority, our Wealth Management team monitors your holdings and makes adjustments based on the current market conditions without calling you. Our ability to make real-time changes allows us to stay on top of your investment goals.

By determining your time frame and risk tolerance, we are able to select an investment portfolio that fits your needs and goals. Time frame considers how soon you will need some of your money back out of the market. Risk tolerance assesses your willingness to accept upward and downward turns in the market and how you feel about investing conservatively or aggressively. Once we have determined time frame and risk tolerance, we are able to show you diverse funds that we have hand-selected and researched.

We utilize an independent custodian, Cambridge Investment Research, Inc. (Cambridge). There are many different types of firms a financial professional can consider when choosing a broker-dealer. We chose to partner with Cambridge because they are independently owned and offer us the freedom to provide you with objective guidance. Cambridge does not force us to sell proprietary products or meet any sales quotas. We are not pressured or distracted by corporate interests; we simply focus on your financial goals and Cambridge helps facilitate that by providing us with the technology and tools we need.
