Why We Are Different
Fee-Only.
Lasting Wealth Principles maintains a transparent, fee-only structure, which means that no products are sold to clients for commission (clients’ fees are not tied to the sale of a product). Additionally, we do not receive any form of compensation from anyone other than the client.
Fiduciary.
As a fiduciary, Lasting Wealth Principles is required to always act in its clients' best interests, which is the highest standard of care.
Independent.
Lasting Wealth Principles has no affiliation with any brokerage or insurance companies, which allows us to provide unbiased financial advice (no pressure to make certain recommendations).
