Biography
As a young advisor in his early-40's, Josh will be a good fit for clients who are looking for a direct, long-term relationship with the owner of an investment advisory firm. Josh is very detail oriented and proactive with his clients. Some companies pride themselves on their size. It is Josh's experience that most investors want personalized service that is consistent. This can be a challenge for larger companies. His clients understand that they are NOT just another number.
Before hiring an Investment Advisor, Josh recommends the following checklist when making your selection.
Please disclose all of the ways that you are compensated. Will your recommendations ever affect or change how you are compensated?
Do you receive any type of sales related compensation or bonus?
How often do you communicate with your clients? Will I have a specific review schedule?
How will you make investment changes for me and how often will these changes occur? Would you have full discretion on my account to make these investment or trading changes? (Keep in mind that if the Investment Advisor does not have full discretion, you are essentially in a buy-and-hold portfolio. The fees on a buy-and-hold portfolio with minimal changes should be different then the fees on a discretionary portfolio with more activity.)
Do you plan to limit the number of clients that you have in the future or set a cap on your client relationships? I have heard financial advisors brag about how many clients that they have. If a financial advisor has hundreds of clients, how will they find the time to provide great service to you?
