Work with Paul - Genesis Wealth Planning

Mission and Vision

I strive to improve my client's financial positions by crafting streamlined, diversified, tax-efficient, and low-cost portfolios. I believe costs are a main driver of portfolio returns. While you can't control market movements, you can control your costs. Because my fees are based on the value of your portfolio, my fees are a reflection of client-first interests. I also believe that simplifying the planning process empowers clients with a clear roadmap to accomplish their goals. We require a minimum portfolio value of $200,000 for Ongoing Advice clients. Your assets will be held with a world-class financial custodian, Charles Schwab.

I provide clients with two straightforward, no-nonsense options to choose from for their wealth planning needs:

Ongoing Advice

This service is for clients who desire to hire me to manage their investment portfolio and help plan for their future. Financial planning services may be as broad-based or narrowly focused as desired. Fees for ongoing advice are based upon a percentage (%) of the market value of your portfolio between 0.25% and 1.00%.

One-Time Financial Review

I also offer a comprehensive one-time financial review for a fee of $1,000, paid after the consultation. This service is perfect for people who are do-it-yourself investors, desire advice only without ongoing costs, or may not have the investable assets to meet the minimum portfolio requirement. Returning clients who do not need Ongoing Advice can, at any time, receive additional one-time consultations charged at my hourly rate of $200 per hour. The hour is pro-rated for calls lasting longer than an hour.

Three Step Process

Both service offerings involve three simple steps:

Step 1. COMPLIMENTARY INTRODUCTORY CONSULTATION

During this meeting, we'll explore which service offering is right for you. I'll explain how each service offering works and answer any questions you may have. Should you decide to hire me, we'll schedule Step 2, a planning meeting. Please contact me at any time to start this process.

Step 2. PLANNING MEETING

During our meeting, we'll discuss your overall investment portfolio and financial plan. We'll discuss your goals, taxes, portfolio asset allocation, fees and expenses, asset location, retirement savings, retirement distributions, insurance, estate planning, and more.

Step 3. IMPLEMENTATION

For clients that choose the One-Time Financial Review, I will deliver a written letter following our meeting summarizing my recommendations. Clients that choose Ongoing Advice, will receive a comprehensive email summarizing the next steps in the process.
