Frequently Asked Questions
How long have you been managing money?
Our founder/CEO, Adam Sarhan, began investing as a teenager. He launched his first company in 2004 from his dorm room in grad school with one mission: Help Investors Thrive In All Market Conditions.
Are you always a fiduciary, and will you state that in writing?
Yes and our client’s interests always come first.
What are your fees?
We believe in providing superior service at a fair rate. Our annual fee for portfolio management services is negotiable and varies between 0.25% – 2.00%, depending upon the market value of your assets under our management, the type and complexity of the asset management services provided, as well as the level of administration requested either directly or assumed by the client. Our annual portfolio management fee is billed and payable, at the beginning of each quarter, based on the balance at the end of each billing period.
Does anybody else ever pay you to advise me and, if so, do you earn more to recommend certain products or services?
No. We work for you and are paid by you, no one else.
Do you participate in any sales contests or award programs creating incentives to favor particular vendors?
No.
Will you itemize all your fees and expenses in writing?
Yes and our fees are negotiable.
Will you consider charging by the hour or retainer instead of an annual fee based on my assets?
Yes, we always do what is best for you.

Why You? How are you different from the rest of Wall Street?
We provide The Personal Touch™ and create an investment plan that works for you, not the other way around. Most people put money into the market, our goal is to consistently take money out of the market. Another competitive advantage is that we play defense first and protect your downside during bear markets. We believe in capital preservation first, then capital appreciation. Most of Wall Street is a long only instrument. Meaning, they make money when stocks go up and their accounts get slaughtered in bear markets.
What is your investment philosophy?
Our investment philosophy is simple: Provide You With Superior Risk-Adjusted Returns In All Market Conditions. We do this by listening to the market and always respecting risk. Before we enter a position, we know how much we are going to risk and where we are going to exit. This way our accounts are always protected from the downside and we let the upside take care of itself. Additionally, we believe that price is a function of perception, and we coined the term “Psychological Analysis” to describe this overlooked factor to investing.
How often do you trade?
Not often. It really all depends on your strategy: We have a conservative, moderate and aggressive portfolios.
