Fiduciary Responsibility & Code of Ethics
OUR FIDUCIARY RESPONSIBILITY
We are fiduciaries. That simply means we are legally bound to act in your best interest. To place your interest in front of our own interest. We are required to exercise a duty of care and loyalty to you with respect to every decision we make in managing your money and in the advice we provide to you. To avoid any conflicts of interest as best we can. That is our pledge to you.
OUR CODE OF ETHICS
We adopt and embrace the CFA Institute Code of Ethics, Standards of Professional Conduct and Asset Manager Code of Professional Conduct in their entirety. The CFA Institute Code of Ethics is as follows:
"Act with integrity, competence, diligence, respect, and in an ethical manner with the public, clients, prospective clients, employers, employees, colleagues in the investment profession, and other participants in the global capital markets. Place the integrity of the investment profession and the interests of clients above their own interests. Use reasonable care and exercise independent professional judgment when conducting investment analysis, making investment recommendations, taking investment actions, and engaging in other professional activities. Practice and encourage others to practice in a professional and ethical manner that will reflect credit on themselves and the profession. Promote the integrity of, and uphold the rules governing, capital markets. Maintain and improve their professional competence and strive to maintain and improve the competence of other investment professionals."

WHY HIRE A CFA® CHARTERHOLDER TO MANAGE YOUR WEALTH?
CFA Institute says it best:
“Your wealth manager should be on the leading edge of every facet of your financial life, anticipating your needs and helping you create an investment strategy to achieve your goals.
CFA charterholders blend intellectual curiosity and expertise to deliver premium advice. They are the difference you need. Here’s why:
Rigor and Expertise.
Fewer than 1 in 5 candidates becomes a CFA charterholder. It takes an average of over 1,000 hours of rigorous study, along with four years of professional experience, to earn the distinction of being called a Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA) charterholder.
Holistic Wealth Management.
CFA charterholders are trained to understand what drives value in all dimensions of your financial life. They have mastered more than just the art and science of securities analysis and asset allocation. They also have expert-level portfolio management skills and the ability to work effectively with tax and intergenerational wealth planning experts to design an investment strategy specific to your objectives.
Your Interests Come First.
CFA charterholders recognize that trust is key to building a strong client-adviser relationship and are bound by the highest ethical standards — the CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Standards of Professional Conduct.
In a complicated world, having a CFA charterholder on your side who is confident, ready for tomorrow, and completely committed to your interests is A Difference that Matters™.”
