Will you help me solve any and all financial problems I may encounter?

Yes, and it’s likely we’ve helped others solve similar problems as well such as business sales, QSBS, tax minimization, estate, 401(k) plans, IRS audits, family deaths, disability, real estate, debt, social security, Medicare, health insurance, college, gifting, and most other financial issues.

What types of clients do you specialize in?

We work specifically with tech founders.

What services do you provide?

A relationship with Keystone involves comprehensive financial planning around retirement, insurance, estate planning, tax planning, and investment management.

How do you help clients implement their financial plans?

We firmly believe that even the best financial plan is of little value until it’s implemented. To help you achieve your goals without feeling stressed or overwhelmed by the noise along the way, we will work together to make the necessary decisions then we take care of the execution.

Are your recommendations truly in my best interest?

As an SEC Registered Investment Advisory firm, we are held to a fiduciary standard, which legally requires us to do what is in our clients’ best interests. This differs drastically from some of our competitors who are only held to the “suitability standard,” meaning that our competitors can make recommendations that are suitable but may not be in the clients’ best interests. Our commitment to an honest and ethical culture has allowed us to build deep, trusted relationships with our clients.

What are all the different ways you get paid?

We are only paid via one management fee. We believe this allows us to have an unbiased framework to select the best investments for you and to give you advice tailored to your needs, not ours. We believe compensation drives behavior, and the way someone is paid influences the work they do. Many financial firms have complex fee arrangements; we do not.

Why would I choose you as my advisor and not do it myself?

There’s certainly a possibility that if you put enough focus and energy into it, you could do it all yourself. But like everyone else, your time is limited and most people prefer to focus on family or business. We’re here to free up your time while leveraging our wealth of experience in addressing concerns, presenting solutions, and working toward your financial goals.

What are the benefits of working with an independent advisor compared to a bank or large advisory firm?

Our independent and conflict-free approach allows us to find the best solutions for our clients. This gives you the advantage since larger firms might be compelled to make specific recommendations, sell proprietary products, or may be restricted in the advice and services they offer. We offer guidance customized to your needs and goals which is a personalized level of service, care, and attention larger firms just can’t provide.

Do you use proprietary funds?

At Keystone, we do not use proprietary products. We do not receive commissions or backend fees from any third parties. We do not earn compensation for recommending one fund vs. another. We believe this allows us to have the most unbiased framework to select the best investments for you and to provide advice tailored to your needs, not ours.

Where do you keep my money and how can I see it?

For your convenience and safety, we use Charles Schwab as the custodian for the majority of our client assets. Schwab administers more than $7 trillion dollars and we selected them to care for yours as well based on a variety of criteria including safety of assets, financial strength, and ease of use. As custodian, Schwab holds your funds and provides direct reporting to you. Your funds will be held in accounts under your name and can be viewed anytime online at Schwab.
