Why Fee-Only?

We believe that the greater your advisor’s dependence on commission income, the greater the conflict. In the end, that conflict can cost you, both in out-of-pocket expenses and in the quality of advice you receive. At Weiss Financial Group we believe there is a significant conflict of interest if an advisor stands to gain financially from any recommendations you may follow, that's why we are a NAPFA registered, Fee-Only advisor.

How are we different?

  1. We review your entire financial life, not just one segment
  2. We provide tangible action steps so you know exactly what to do after you receive your plan
  3. We are a family business and understand the challenges families face
  4. We are not influenced by commissions or product sales
  5. We are Fee-Only
  6. We are fiduciaries
  7. We are CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professionals (CFP®)
  8. We provide access to our advisors so you can have your questions answered along the way
  9. We have access to tax professionals through our affiliate Weiss Advisory Group

PROTECTING YOUR CONFIDENTIALITY


Investment Advisers are required by law to inform their clients of their policies regarding privacy of client information. We are bound by professional standards of confidentiality that are even more stringent than those required by law. Federal law gives customers the right to limit some but not all sharing of personal information. It also requires us to tell you how we collect, share, and protect your personal information.

To protect the personal information of current and former clients from unauthorized access and use, we use security measures that comply with federal law, including computer safeguards and secured files and building.

Types of Nonpublic Personal Information (NPI) We Collect

We collect nonpublic personal information about you that is either provided to us by you or obtained by us with your authorization. This can include but is not limited to your Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Banking Information and Financial Account Numbers and/or Balances, Sources of Income, Credit Card Numbers or other Information. When you are no longer our customer, we may continue to share your information only as described in this notice. 

Parties To Whom We Disclose Information

All Investment Advisers may need to share personal information to run their everyday business. In the section below, we list the typical reasons that we may share your personal information:

  1. For everyday business purposes – such as to process your transactions, maintain your account(s), or respond to court orders and legal investigations, or report to credit bureaus;
  2. For our marketing – to offer our products and services to you;
  3. For joint marketing with other financial companies
  4. For our affiliates' everyday business purposes – information about your transactions and experiences; or
  5. For non-affiliates to market to you.

Clients may opt out of sharing information for joint marketing to other financial companies, to our affiliates and to non-affiliates. If you are a new customer we may begin sharing your information ­­on the day you sign our agreement. When you are no longer our customer, we may continue to share your information as described in this notice. However, you can contact us at any time to limit our sharing. 

Federal Law Gives You The Right To Limit Sharing - Opting Out

Federal law allows you the right to limit the sharing of your NPI by "opting-out" of the following: sharing for affiliates' everyday business purposes – information about your creditworthiness; sharing with affiliates who use your information to market to you; or sharing with non-affiliates to market to you. State laws and individual companies may give you additional rights to limit sharing. Please notify us immediately at our address or telephone number if you choose to opt out of these types of sharing.

DEFINITIONS:

  1. Affiliates – companies related by common ownership or control. They can be financial and nonfinancial companies.
  2. Non-affiliates – companies not related by common ownership or control. They can be financial and nonfinancial companies.
  3. Joint marketing – a formal agreement between non-affiliated financial companies that together market financial products or services to you.
