Datalynx Fee Based Investment Program
The investment marketplace is a complex, changing world of choices. Sorting through those choices requires both time and expertise. The myriad of financial products and services can overwhelm even the most savvy investor. Fortunately, there are many alternatives for investors to consider when pursuing their financial goals. The key to securing your financial future is to evaluate these alternatives and select the ones that are right for you.

With the help and guidance from us, as your financial advisor, in tandem with a flexible portfolio management program, you can start on the road to achieving your long-term goals. We can develop a personalized investment plan that incorporates your risk tolerance, investment objectives, diversification needs and long-term goals while providing flexibility to tailor an investment approach for your individual needs.

Whether you are saving for retirement, college education, business acquisition or financial independence, the Datalynx program can be an excellent approach to building, managing and preserving your wealth.

Datalynx Highlights
  • Datalynx offers you access to over 8000 mutual funds from some of the country's strongest and most recognizable fund families and most of the small fund families as well. We can place a wide variety of investments in the account including mutual funds, stocks and bonds. Selected variable annuities can be linked to the account. We use strategic and tactical asset allocation methods to actively manage your investments. We review our methods and recommended investments on a continual basis and review each separate account on a through basis on at least a quarterly basis. State-of-the-art, comprehensive Quarterly Performance Reports are provided to help you track the success of your portfolio relative to your stated objectives. As a client you will know how well your account is doing and also how well relative to benchmarks it is doing. When you invest through an account, rather than pay commission on each transaction, you pay an annual program fee that is calculated as a percentage of the asset value of your account. As your advisor, we determine the fee based on the level of on-going service and expertise your account requires.
  • The program fee is automatically deducted from your account on a monthly basis.
