Frequently Asked Questions
General & Fiduciary
-
It means I am compensated only by the fees you pay me. I do not sell products, earn commissions, or receive third-party referral payments. This removes a major source of conflict and keeps the advice objective.
-
The office is in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn. I work with clients locally in New York City and virtually with clients across the United States.
-
Yes. As a Registered Investment Adviser, I have a legal duty to put your interests ahead of my own at all times.
Concentrated Equity & RSUs
-
Yes. A core part of my work is helping professionals with concentrated RSUs or other equity compensation decide how and when to liquidate, manage the tax consequences, and diversify into a broader portfolio. I coordinate closely with your CPA on timing and tax payments.
-
Closely when it matters. For equity sales, vesting events, or large tax years, I coordinate timing and share relevant details so your CPA can plan accurately. The goal is clean coordination, not overlapping advice.
-
Not necessarily. Many relationships begin with the concentrated position or the capital from a liquidity event. We can decide what makes sense during the first conversation.
Investments & Custody
-
I never take custody of client assets. Accounts are held at independent institutional custodians (such as Charles Schwab or Altrusit). You retain full access and receive statements directly from the custodian.
-
Simple and long-term. The focus is on low-cost, broadly diversified portfolios designed for compounding, with tax efficiency built into the structure. The priority is staying invested and avoiding unnecessary interference.
Getting Started
-
I typically work with people who have $1 million or more in investable assets, usually from equity compensation or a liquidity event.
-
Yes. The initial conversation is free, confidential, and carries no obligation. It is simply to understand your situation and see whether there is a fit.
