Compensation

How I'm compensated

I am compensated as a fee-based financial planner. My primary fee structure is a percentage of assets managed β€” see the Fees page for the full schedule.

I sometimes earn commissions on products such as insurance and annuities. At times I am also compensated hourly for specific financial planning work. I do not charge commissions by selling investments.

These compensation arrangements are disclosed openly and I only recommend products that are genuinely in the client's best interest.
