FAQ
What makes Lindsey Wealth Management unique?
Our people make us unique. No one cares how much you know, until you know how much you care. Anyone can invest your money, but the key is giving you the best advice. We use our education and ability to listen to give you the best advice. We believe advice will always trump investments.
Are you a fiduciary?
Yes. A fiduciary is a person who must place the client’s interest ahead of his or her own. Fiduciaries must also disclose what their fees are, how they’re compensated, and any other conflicts or potential conflicts of interest that might influence an individual's decision to use their services. In contrast, non-fiduciary financial advisors (brokers/dealers) might receive a commission in exchange for selling you a particular investment that isn’t the best for you—and not tell you how they’ve profited from it.
What licenses, credentials, or other certifications do you have?
We have the following designations on staff: CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional, Chartered Financial Consultant, Retirement Income Certified Professional, Accredited Estate Planner, Chartered Advisor for Senior Living, Accredited Asset Management Specialist, and Accredited Wealth Management Advisor.

How do you charge for your services?
We are structured as a Fee-Only Registered Investment Advisor. Will bill quarterly in the arrears based on the average daily account balance that is pro-rated for the quarter.
