How we are paid

Report

Following our initial exploratory meeting (the fee for which will be absorbed by our firm) you will be quoted a fee for the written report that you select.  This fee includes:

Research and analysis

Report preparation

A 60 minute meeting with you to review the report and its recommendations

Once this report has been presented, you are free to implement this report with any institution or individual; there is no obligation to implement the recommendations through Rogers Group Financial.

Implementation and Monitoring

For those who choose to implement the report's recommendations through Rogers Group Financial, I offer three different methods from which you can choose:

1. An hourly rate (or project fee) to design a financial plan that you are free to implement with whomever you choose;

2. A fee-only arrangement based on a percentage of your investment assets under management.  Any commissions generated would be deducted against this fee;

3. Asset-based commissions (based on a percentage of assets under management but paid by the company where the investments are placed). I endeavor to avoid acquisition or termination charges (for example, all mutual funds or pooled funds are purchased on a no-load basis).

Currently, however, there are some products that I recommend that only have a transaction-based commission option (e.g. life annuities, life insurance, etc.).

Only under option (2) and option (3) am I able to monitor your account (i.e. during the implementation stage).

Because the costs associated with different financial planning and investment strategies will vary, I will discuss with you the fees associated with your particular situation before you commit to using my professional services.
