Wealth management is a comprehensive financial service designed to help individuals and families grow, protect, and preserve their wealth over time.

Our wealth management services are tailored to your specific circumstances, providing you with a comprehensive and personalized approach to managing your financial life. Our team of experienced professionals is dedicated to helping you achieve your financial aspirations, whether that involves growing your wealth, preserving it for future generations, or ensuring a comfortable retirement.

The financial advising world is filled with commissioned salespeople who sell things like annuities, insurances, and various high-fee investment products. These products help the advisor and their firm generate commissions and fees and may not be in the best interest of the client. Advisors who earn their living by selling you investment products are generally not fiduciary. Although not required in the financial advising industry, advisors at Pioneer Wealth have obtained high levels of education and advanced certifications along with several years of experience. In addition to our focus on investment management, our firm provides holistic advice for the client’s entire financial picture.

As a fiduciary, fee-only firm, we only get paid directly from our clients, and expressly do not receive any compensation or remuneration from any third party sources (e.g. commissions, referral fees, etc.) Clients will always know exactly what they're paying directly to the firm based on their selected services.

Other costs may include, but are not limited to: Any fees charged directly by the brokerage firm or custodian (e.g. Charles Schwab, 529 plans, 401(k)s) Expense ratios charged directly by any funds that are included in a client's account (e.g. mutual funds, ETFs)

We offer several distinct fee structures for clients, which are described in detail within our Firm Brochure (Adv Pt 2A) (Item 5 – Fees and Compensation) and summarized here: Hourly Planning Fee: Ranges from $250-500, depending on the complexity/nature of the planning material and advisor's experience. Clients who select this free structure will be quoted a rate that will remain consistent throughout the project's time before engagement, and the fee will be billed in arrears as hours accumulated.

We rely heavily on historical data and research to guide our investment approach. Core tenets of our philosophy include: global diversification, factor tilts, managing portfolio costs, minimizing taxes, and maintaining discipline during periods of market volatility. We do not believe most active management approaches (e.g. market timing, stock picking, excessive trading) will generate consistent outperformance. Portfolios are constructed using low-cost exchange traded funds (ETFs). To learn more about our investment philosophy, check out Pursuing a Better Investment Experience.

We create your ideal portfolio by looking at your financial goals, how comfortable you are with risk, how long you plan to invest, and your unique financial situation. Our team then builds a balanced investment mix tailored to you, adjusting it as needed over time.

Diversification is a risk management strategy to prevent catastrophic losses in portfolio value. If your wealth is heavily concentrated in one investment (e.g. employer stock, business, real estate project, etc), you may experience an unrecoverable, permanent loss to your net worth if this single investment fails. If your wealth is spread among many investments, your risk of a catastrophic loss is reduced.

We strongly believe your investments should reflect your personal values. We offer socially responsible investment (SRI) options that can align with your preferences.

We select investment products based on value proposition relative to cost. Our aim is to enhance long-term investment returns, while mitigating management fees and trading costs.

Client accounts are custodied with Charles Schwab or Altruist.

Each lead advisor holds the Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) or Chartered Financial Consultant (ChFC®) designations. These certifications represent the highest standard in the financial planning industry. Coursework and examination cover areas including: tax planning, estate planning, risk management, retirement planning, and investments. Certain advisors may hold additional designations including: Certified Public Accountant (CPA), Enrolled Agent (EA), and Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA).

When you initially contact our team, we will schedule a call to evaluate your situation and concerns. We will pair you with an advisor that would be the best fit based on your specific needs. If you are referred by an existing client, you may request a specific advisor.
