What is an Independent, Fee Only, Registered Investment Advisor?

  • Independent:  Not affiliated or influenced by any brokerage, bank or insurance firm.
  • Fee Only:  We only receive compensation  directly from our clients (we never receive any compensation as sales commissions, from meeting sales quotas, payments from mutual fund companies, etc.).
  • Registered Investment Advisor:  Required by federal and state law to act as your fiduciary, placing the clients’ interest above our own interest. We must disclose, up front and in writing, all investment fees. (Audited by the SEC and/or state.).

Note: Brokers don’t have to meet fiduciary requirements. Brokers act in the best interest of their employer, not their client.  They can – and often do – put their own financial interests ahead of yours. They don’t have to list all the fees you pay (many fees are hidden) or tell you specifically about their conflicts of interest.

 

What Does This Mean For You?

 

Kinder Financial Services offers wealth management that is free from the conflicts plagued by the investment industry.  We invest in no-load, funds with low annual expenses (not the loaded Class A,B,C funds with high annual expenses brokers use).

I am Christian faith and guided.

 

I learned many years ago the only important thing in the world are people and God, not stuff/material items..

 

I am tired of good people struggling with personal finances and I want to help them.

 

I have been working with managing investments for over 20 years

How I got to be a wealth manager:

I always loved working with numbers, which led me in to engineering (1989-2020). While perusing my MBA, I realized how much more I liked working with investments. In 2010 I decided to pursue investing professionally, and have been a wealth manager since 2011.

In 2010, I came to realize that my passion in life was working with investments, or more so, working with people to make their investments work for them.
