Our DataDriven Process™ is a mathematical system created to allocate assets and lower volatility. Developed to reduce a portfolio's risk, our process can improve your odds of survival and allows us to make more informed choices. Our strategy has been profiled in Forbes (see our website for more information). We don't believe in using a crystal ball to preduct the future, instead we rely on math, finance,a nd diversification when allocating an investment portfolio.
We charge based on assets managed by our firm.
There is a 0.95% fee on the first $500,000 in assets.
There is a 0.75% fee on assets from $500,001 to $1,000,000.
There is a 0.50% fee on assets from $1,000,001 to $5,000,000.
There is a 0.35% fee on assets $5,000,000 and up.
Face the future with confidence, knowing you won't outlive your money.
Planning for retirement means monitoring your pace and mapping the road ahead. With proper planning, you can be confident of your current path, better allocate assets to help achieve your goals, and spend more time focused on your bucket list than on the markets.
We use Monte Carlo simulations, as well as advanced tax strategies to minimize tax burdens over time.

About Wealthminder
Wealthminder was created for one simple reason: To help people get the financial assistance they need to achieve their long-term financial goals.
Wealthminder is a database derived from SEC.gov data covering every Investment Advisor Representative in the country. We work hard to collect and provide you the information you need to find a financial advisor who’s right for you.
Finding a Financial Advisor through Wealthminder
Historically finding and hiring a financial advisor was hard. Wealthminder was built to make the process much easier.
The best way to use Wealthminder is to take advantage of our free proposal system. All you have to do is take a few minutes of your time to describe your situation and the assistance you are looking for.
Wealthminder then sends your request to our network of prescreened financial advisors. If a financial advisor is interested in your business, they will submit a proposal to you.
You review the proposals you receive and decide if you’d like to have a follow-up call with one or more of the financial advisors.
Throughout the process, you maintain control. We only share your contact information with a financial advisor once you ask for an introduction.
