What is a Fee-Based Relationship

In a fee-based relationship , a fee is charged to you for personalized services such as financial planning, portfolio construction, investment strategies, etc.

A fee-based relationship provides:

• Transparency – Having fee schedules based on a percentage of the account value offers the transparency in how your fees are derived and an understanding that you are paying for advice rather than a product. These fees are outlined in your detailed quarterly performance report.

• Objectivity – With no financial incentive to offer one product over another and the mutual benefit that your advisor’s financial success is directly proportional to your success, the fee-based relationship creates an environment of objectivity in selecting the investment strategy and products that your advisor believes will be right for your financial goals.

• Fiduciary Duty – The highest standard of care that, by design, guides an advisor to act in the best interest of his or her clients.

• Access – Institutional management, once reserved only for large accounts, is now available with a fee- based relationship; this includes the portfolios within the Genesis Series.
