Our compensation is broadly based on the two types of services we provide: investment advisory (percentage of assets held in your account) and brokerage (sales charge on each transaction). It is important to know the key differences between each option. Together, we will help you identify and determine your preference, based on your financial situation and investment goals.

_{* Some alternative investments may be available to pre-qualified investors only. Hedging strategies and private investments may be speculative and involve a high degree of risk. Hedging strategies and private investment performance can be volatile. An investor could lose all or a substantial amount of his or her investment. There is no secondary market for the investor’s interest in hedging or private equity investment and none is expected to develop. There may be restrictions on transferring interests in a hedge fund or private equity investment. Exposure to the commodities markets may subject an investment to greater share price volatility than an investment in traditional equity or debt securities. The commodities markets are considered speculative, carry substantial risks, and have experienced periods of extreme volatility. Investing in a volatile and uncertain commodities market may cause a portfolio to rapidly increase or decrease in value which may result in greater share price volatility. There are special risks associated with an investment in real estate, including the possible illiquidity of the underlying properties, credit risk, interest rate fluctuations and the impact of varied economic conditions.}
