Our experienced team of professionals and proven ongoing due diligence process are at the heart of our WealthConnection®401(k) service. In addition, we can also provide, under a separate service offering, exceptional personalized wealth management services to owners and key executive employees.

Our opinions are objective because – unlike stockbrokers and insurance agents who sell 401(k) plans along with their products – we are a true fiduciary and a “fee-only” advisory firm. We do not sell products, earn commissions, accept referral fees, or earn money in any other way that could potentially be contrary to your interests.

What Makes Us Different?

• Objectivity. We are “fee-only” fiduciary and independent.
• Diversification. Reduces asset class risk, but we also believe in selectively exploiting asset class opportunities.
• Discipline. Based on rational and evidence-based process. This mitigates inadequate decision making and emotionally based decision errors.
• Access. Exceptionally in-depth research with direct access to highly skilled managers.
• Flexibility. Customizing all aspects of educating employees on the investment selections.
• Risk Adjusted Portfolios. As part of our offering we provide risk adjusted portfolios that employees can select and eliminate the agony of trying to build a globally allocated balanced and well diversified portfolio on their own.
