We believe in transparent fees. GRIP is a fee-based firm, meaning that our fees are a percentage based on the amount of assets we manage. Generally, the more assets we manage, the lower the fee rate.
We do not just create a one-time plan. With fee-based planning, we can continually assess your needs and provide management and solutions accordingly. We work to keep the plan current and implement investment and tax strategies to deliver your best outcome.
We prioritize getting to know each client and focus our time and attention on developing your individualized, strategic retirement plan.
We currently do not offer tax prep services. Our focus on tax strategy looks ahead many years to maximize tax efficiency in every aspect of your plan.
We combine similar access to the scale and resources of industry leaders with the personal attention and detail of a boutique firm. We are not boxed in to limited investment options.
