Q: Can you send duplicate statements to my accountant or any other person who I designate?

A: Yes, duplicate statements can be sent to your accountant or other designated person.  We often coordinate directly with a client's accountant to provide them with cost-basis and other information needed in tax reporting.  If research has to be done on securities not purchased through us, there could be an additioanl charge for the time and servcies associated with that research.

Q: Are you product neutral?

A: Yes.  First, from an investment standpoint, we can establish client accounts with a number of investment custodians.  On a case-by-case basis, we will also consider providing investment advisory services to a client who uses a custodian with whom we do not have an agreement.  Second, from an insurance and annuity standpoint, we can do business with most of the major carriers in the market place.
