A primary focus of my practice is recommending the deployment of multiple strategies that are paired with an objective of lowering the risk in portfolios, after engaging a personal risk tolerance analysis with clients. Ongoing statistical reporting on portfolios is delivered quarterly. Guidance is provided within an advisory framework that compensates me on a fee basis instead of commissions whenever such an arrangement is available and suitable for clients through our various third party relationships. There are some situations that are limited to certain types of commission based compensation such as when an alternative investment like an annuity is suitable or when certain mutual fund recommendations are outside the scope of the aforementioned multiple strategy portfolios. Suitability is always my primary consideration.
