In addition to our “Comprehensive” and “Collaborative” service levels, we offer some of our services in a “Do-It-Yourself” service level that has a lower annual fee and no minimum. Basic services include asset allocation design and portfolio management with accounts custodied at Charles Schwab.

Separate from the quarterly reporting we provide for our clients to show an accounting of portfolio performance, Schwab delivers monthly statements to show a real time accounting of your portfolio’s value, trade and transaction confirmation notices so you are aware of actions taken in your account, and tax forms to assist in tax reporting and filing.

Shortly after trades have been placed in a Schwab account, Schwab sends an email notification to the account owner(s) with the details of precisely what was bought and sold. A separate email will be sent for each account in which trades were placed with a subject line such as “Schwab Trade Confirmation eNotification account ending in [last 3 digits of account number].”

The trade confirmation email includes the following information:
