Process
We are fiduciaries, all the time.
We use a fiduciary process to create your plan and build your investment portfolio using exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and mutual funds from Avantis, Dimensional Fund Advisors, Vanguard, iShares, and other funds that make the grade.
We monitor your investments to make sure they stay aligned with your needs and goals. We make the necessary changes, so you don’t have to.
Beliefs
You cannot beat the markets by guessing tomorrow’s news.
A structured investment approach will add value with a higher reliability and confidence level than one based on guessing.
We diversify across global markets based on our clients’ situations and needs, buying funds that are low-cost, tax-efficient and have a proven track record of success.

Clients
Our ideal client:
- is a retiree or pre-retiree who enjoys open, honest, and genuine personal relationships.
- prefers hearing the truth about their situation.
- commits to implementing a written strategy.
- wants the freedom and simplicity of having a Financial Advisor.
- is a true financial “delegator” who looks for, respects, and follows professional advice.
- acts based on disciplined financial planning objectives instead of reacting to changing world events and outside opinions.
- is comfortable with our fee structure based on investment assets of $500,000 or more.
The Other side of the Equation
Are our fees worth it? You decide:
- According to this research paper by Vanguard, an advisor adds “about 3%” per year.
- In this one by Morningstar, an advisor adds about 20% more in annual retirement income when they do some things that advisors do.
- In this one by Russell Investments, it’s 4.81% per year.
We know the items spelled out in these papers and use them to help our clients have retirement security.
Planning Your Estate
While most advisors refer you to outside attorneys, Michael Garry is a licensed attorney who has been implementing estate plans for years.
You don’t have to use Michael for your estate plan, but you can.
Creating an estate plan integrated with your financial plan may be easier and more cost-effective.
Michael is licensed in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and of course, legal fees may be in addition to fees for investment advisory services.
