Services at a glance

When asked how we work with clients to help them build a more confident financial future, we usually break it down into one of the following three ways:

Personalized Investment Management

More financial firms than ever are outsourcing your investments, so you never meet the person who’s managing your money.  While that’s efficient for the firm, it’s not usually best for you.  At TrustTree, we manage your investments in-house according to your preferences and risk profile.  Then we keep you fully informed every step of the way.

True Full-Service Financial Planning

Occasional financial planning can only get you so far.  Set it and forget it? Not here. At TrustTree, we provide you with comprehensive financial planning plus the ongoing support that helps you achieve your goals.  So you can actually end up where you want to be.

The Total Package

Most people want financial independence, but very few actually achieve it.  You’re busy, so you need someone to help you plan, keep your eye on the big picture and execute along the way.  With TrustTree’s total package, we’ll help you map out the road ahead with a plan, then help you stay on track….so you have the best chance of reaching your goals.

Investment Management Service

Investment Management Service (IMS)

When you’re working toward your life goals, investing shouldn’t be simply put on auto-pilot or outsourced to a third party. That’s why at TrustTree Financial, your investments are managed in-house by experienced professionals.  There’s no outsourcing or delegating this critical function to less experienced staff.  Instead of being put into a one-size-fits-all portfolio, we customize your portfolio to your specific needs.  From there, investments are monitored and changed when necessary. We’ll keep you updated through phone calls and meetings and provide ongoing performance reports so you always know how your investments are performing.

Our Fee Schedule:

We believe in full transparency, so you won’t have to deal with the ‘hidden costs’ that are so frequently part of financial advisor relationships.  Instead, you’ll always know exactly how much you’ll be charged.
