At Empress Investment Group, we do NOT charge a fee per meeting. We are a fiduciary fee-based advisory firm. Fee-based advisory services mean that the client is paying an ongoing fee for the management of their accounts. This fee varies depending on the size of the portfolio, the investment allocation, and the type of management. Additionally, there are times when we make recommendations for our clients to obtain life insurance and annuity policies. For these solutions, our office is compensated directly from the insurance carrier via commission. When we meet to discuss your financial needs and objectives, we will be able to tell you what fees are involved based on the services we agree upon. We assure you that you will not be charged anything until a clear course of action is discussed, agreed upon, and implemented.
