Investments
We are compensated for our investment services in one of two ways:
- A sales commission from the investment company for which we invest our client’s money; or
- A fee-for-service arrangement, negotiated based upon the level of involvement the client would like from us and other relevant factors.
Life & Health Insurance
We are compensated in the form of a sales commission directly from the insurance company for which we place our client’s business with. There is no exchange of funds between the client and First Oak Financial as it pertains to the sale of a life or health insurance policy. The commission we receive does not impact our insurance recommendations whatsoever – we have a fiduciary duty to act in the client’s best interest and we strictly adhere to that.
Financial Planning
Our fees for retirement, legacy or financial planning start at $1,000 (tax inclusive) and will ultimately be based on the complexity of the client’s situation. We provide a fully transparent quote prior to commencing any billable work.
Some of the concepts listed above involve high-level legal and tax planning. Our team will work with your professional advisors (if applicable) to ensure all parties are on the same page and working as a cohesive unit when implementing insurance-based corporate planning solutions. We can refer you to tax and legal advisors if you do not have any.
