- Q8: Why is it important to work with a fee-only, fiduciary financial advisor?
A: There are three things that separate us from other financial advisors:
- We specialize in comprehensive financial planning tailored for clients with advanced planning needs, particularly those focused on making work optional. By staying highly specialized, we continually enhance our expertise and only work work with clients that we have the expertise for delivering a quality experience. Many of our client relationships are high-earning technology professionals, Dell employees, and pre-retirees.
- We intentionally limit the number of clients we work with and new clients we accept. This approach enables us to provide highly personalized and high-value service to each of our clients.
- “We” work directly with you. When you work with us, you’re partnering with the proverbial ‘we’, which means you’re dealing directly with Brian Fry. This ensures you have direct access to your financial planner and investment manager, facilitating seamless communication throughout our partnership.
A: Our fees are straightforward, starting at 0.80% per year for the investments we manage, with an annual minimum of $4,000. Additionally, there is a one-time upfront fee of $1,000.
A: No. We do not have an asset minimum. Our $4,000 annual fee is based on the complexity of planning, the technology and time required to deliver great advice, and the level of value we provide to the clients we serve best.
As a general guideline, our fee tends to be a good fit for households with either:
- Around $400,000 of investable assets, or
- $200,000 or more in household income, or
- A combination of investible assets and household income that falls somewhere in the middle.
A: Yes! Even though several of our client relationships are in Austin, TX and southern California, we work with clients across the United States.
A: We value providing ongoing financial planning to individuals and households over a long-term ongoing relationship.
If you prefer to work a financial planner who offers these limited-term engagements, consider reaching out to the XY Planning Network.
A: Here are some characteristics of the clients that we work best with:
- You are looking for expert financial advice and ready to implement our recommendations.
- You understand that investment recommendations are based on achieving your financial goals and not designed to time or beat the market.
- You are not looking for the hot stock pick of the day.
- You’d rather spend time enjoying what you love to do instead of focusing on short-term market returns. Your focus is on the big picture and avoiding the big mistake.
A: We might not be a good fit working together if:
- You believe you can consistently time and/or beat the market.
- You want a hot stock pick of the day.
- You’d rather spend time focusing on short-term market returns without looking at the big picture.
- You do not implement our expert advice.
A: Safe Landing Financial is a fee-only, fiduciary financial advisor, meaning we do not receive commissions from brokerage firms, mutual fund companies, or insurance providers.
