About Us
How We Are Different
-
We Are Accessible
Our communication approach is open, direct, and accessible. No matter where you live or travel, you can reach us through a variety of ways.
-
Our Commitment
Our guiding principle is to advise with integrity. As your financial advocate, we will keep you updated on economic and market conditions. We will then manage your investments accordingly treating you as we would our own family.
-
Cost Structure
As a fee-based advisory firm our fee structure is simple and transparent with no hidden costs. We do not impose sales charges, nor do we receive commissions as part of our client account management. This allows us to remain flexible in our investment choices with access to investments that may be unavailable to individual investors. We receive a percentage of the average balance of your assets under our management — meaning we are literally vested in your success.
-
Fiduciary Duty
As a registered investment advisor, it is our fiduciary duty to act in your best interest – we are legally bound to put your best interest first. Thus, our standard of care differs from other financial professionals (i.e. stockbrokers, registered representatives, and insurance agents). We are accountable to you and take our responsibility seriously. It is our passion to see you succeed.
Concierge Service
Our approach as a financial concierge involves offering a vast array of services that go beyond investment management. There might have been situations in your life where you felt compelled to make difficult financial choices and felt cornered. At MN Wealth, we aim to provide practical and cost-effective solutions during such times to make your journey less demanding and more stress-free.
