Asset diversification is the foundation of our investment philosophy. Assets are selected based on a variety of factors, including cost, historical returns, tax efficiency and correlation to other assets in the portfolio. In building your customized portfolio, we offer and utilize securities products such as ETFs, mutual funds, stocks and bonds.

From college planning to retirement income and beyond, everyone has different financial goals and risk tolerance. At Withington Financial, we believe that no two investors are alike. We’ll work with you to build an investment plan as unique as you.

We charge between 0.5% and 0.85% annually, based on the total relationship value. A typical investment advisor charges his or her client fees of 1% per year on average. 1% may not seem like much, but it can add up to a significant amount over time, thus lowering your expected returns. By charging you a lower fee, we keep more of your money where it belongs- working for you.

With all of the various fees associated with investing, the true, total cost to the investor can sometimes be difficult to discern. We believe in full disclosure when it comes to our management fees, so you’ll always know up front how much you’re paying.  There are no start-up costs, administration fees or other hidden expenses.

Plans start at $600 and can vary depending on complexity. Clients with $500,000 in managed investments receive their initial plan at no additional charge. Complimentary retirement and pension plan analysis is also available for clients with certain managed asset levels. There is no charge for an initial consultation.

Diversification is the convention of spreading money among various investments in order to lower risk. Choosing the proper group of investments may help limit losses and reduce the volatility of investment returns.

No single asset allocation model is suitable for every investor. We assist you in creating a portfolio that is appropriate to your specific objectives and will regularly review and adjust your holdings to ensure that you remain on track to meeting your financial goals.
