Investment Services
Opportunities available when partnering with TFP as your trusted advisor
Investment Services bundles financial planning services and investment management together for one fee. Clients are able to elect or opt-out of additional services. Included services and fees are detailed below.
| < $750,000 Assets Under Management | > $750,000 Assets Under Management |
|
|---|---|---|
| INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT | ||
| Annualized Asset-Based Fee | 1% | 1% – 0.25% * |
| Portfolio Monitoring TFP monitors accounts under management to determine if it is appropriate to bring things back into balance. Regular rebalancing to a client’s target allocation helps with the “buy low and sell high” principle for investing success, and can ensure that the portfolio stays within the client’s tolerance for downside risk. |  | |
| Trading This is the practice of placing buys, sells and/or exchanges of securities (mutual funds, ETFs, bonds, etc.). TFP has processes in place to ensure the correct trades are placed to avoid costly mistakes that could impact market performance or a client’s tax bill. | | |
| Capital Gain/Loss Evaluation In an account that is taxable, there can be tax consequences to buying and selling investments. TFP helps clients understand how making transactions in the account impacts their finances comprehensively and gives them a heads up to any substantial tax consequences as a result. | | |
| Investment Policy Statement IPS is a guiding document that sets out the parameters for how the client’s accounts will be managed by TFP. It serves as a point of reference to stay focused on the client’s goals, tolerance for risk, and overall financial situation. | | |
| Daily Cash Monitoring Whether it’s periodic contributions, rollovers from another account, or a one- time lump sum contribution, money market balances need to be monitored to prevent lost opportunity for the client. | | |
| Asset Allocation TFP helps clients determine the best way to divide investments among different asset categories taking individuals’ life goals into account. | | |
| Asset Location TFP will develop a tax-minimizing strategy based on the client’s goals by allocating different investments into accounts with varying tax treatments. | | |
| Dollar-Cost-Averaging Gradually investing a portion of the cash contribution to the account over a period of time based on what is appropriate for the client. With the stock market fluctuating day to day, the process of buying in over time could result in a lower buy-in average, and vice versa. | | |
| Periodic Investment Plans When a client wishes to invest an amount of money periodically (e.g., monthly), TFP sets up a monthly plan to withdraw money from the client’s bank account and transfer that to their investment account to be invested. | | |
| Periodic Distribution Plans When a client periodically needs cash from their investment, TFP sets up a distribution plan to transfer money from their investment account to their bank account to provide for their income needs. | | |
| Risk Tolerance Updates As clients near retirement or encounter life events, their risk tolerance may change. TFP regularly requests risk tolerance updates from clients to ensure that the investment mix that was created for the client is still prudent given their new circumstances. | | |
| FINANCIAL PLANNING | ||
| Retirement Projections and Updates A client’s finances, goals and health are constantly changing, requiring periodic retirement plan updates that will inform recommendations. | | |
| Education Planning We will help determine what investment vehicle to use to save for education costs, how much to save, and how to invest those savings. | | |
| Cash Flow Planning A client could have a variety of accounts and income streams. We work with clients to determine the best way to turn various assets in their portfolio into an income stream during retirement. | Financial planning services are available upon request under a separate service agreement. A separate service agreement would be signed by both parties to outline the scope of the financial planning services and applicable fees. | |
| Tax Planning We coordinate with allied professionals to communicate the investment income realized and strategize to distribute income in a tax-efficient manner. | | |
| Social Security Maximization We can help determine what benefits a client is entitled to and when is the best time to claim Social Security. | | |
| Insurance Analysis We look at how death, disability, or long-term care needs could affect a client’s goals and how insurance should be used in the financial plan. | | |
| Financial Planning for Children Educating and advising young and adult children of the clients regarding financial planning matters. | | |
| Real Estate Analysis Assisting in analyzing a real estate investment such as rental property, purchasing a second home, or other real estate investment. | | |
| Retirement Distribution Strategies Retirement income optimization is a very important part of the financial planning work we do as it can have a substantial impact on the taxability of a client’s income as well as how long one’s retirement assets can last. | | |
| Roth Conversion Analysis Periodically converting funds from tax-deferred retirement accounts to Roth accounts can decrease the required minimum distributions and lessen the over tax burden upon distribution of funds. | | |
| Charitable Giving Developing strategies to give using tax-efficient methods, determining how much and when to give without impacting a client’s other goals are ways we facilitate the charitable giving process. | | |
| Estate Planning TFP will walk clients through estate planning documents, aligning the titling of their assets and listing of their beneficiaries to be consistent throughout. | | |
| Business Entity Selection Advice Working with a client’s CPA and attorney, we help them determine the best business structure based on their income tax situation as well as their retirement savings goals. | | |
| Relationship Management | ||
| Coordination With Outside Professionals (Tax, Estate, Insurance) | | |
| * Annualized Asset-Based Fee is on a sliding scale and is dependent upon total Client Assets Under Management. See ADV Brochure Item 5 for further details. | ||
