Strategic Asset Management (SAM)

Fee-Based Asset Allocation Strategy

Strategic Asset Management (SAM) is a comprehensive, open-architecture, fee-based investment platform created to help us deliver highly customized advice and exceptional service to our clients. Fee-based asset management allows you and your financial advisor to share a common goal—to grow the value of your assets. A long-term approach to investing, fee-based asset management ties your advisor’s compensation directly to the performance of your account. Instead of commissions, your advisor earns an annual fee based on the market value of the account. You and your advisor concentrate on what matters most—building an investment portfolio designed to help pursue your specific needs.

Inside this platform, we have access to no-load, load-waived, and institutional mutual funds. Your portfolio may also include, but is not limited to, individual stocks, bonds, ETFs, UITs, alternative investments and managed futures.

There is no “one-size-fits-all” solution. Your unique circumstances and personal objectives dictate the method of investing, as well as the types of vehicles chosen to help achieve them. Your financial advisor has the flexibility to offer you the investments best suited to meet your financial goals. What’s more, you have the ability to include investments you already own. They can be combined with those selected by your advisor to complete your customized portfolio and help ensure the success of your long-term plan.
