Top Questions
FAQ’s
+ Where is my money held?
Derive Wealth does not hold any of your money directly. We have selected a third party custodian, TD Ameritrade Institutional, as the company responsible for securely holding your investments.
+ What am I invested in?
Each portfolio can be comprised of mutual funds, index funds, and/or exchange traded funds. We also can work with your existing investments, which may include individual stocks and other securities.
+ Who is managing my investments?
Derive Wealth manages the portfolios. We partner with a select group of investment managers, such as Dimensional Funds, to enhance our research and strategies.
+ Can I invest in Dimensional Funds on my own?
Dimensional Funds is mainly offered through a select group of financial advisors approved to offer their mutual funds. Generally Dimensional Funds are not available to purchase on your own.
+ What fees do I pay?
Derive Wealth charges a single fee that covers both your financial planning and investment advice. The fees we charged are based on the complexity of your financial plan and investment strategy. However you are responsible for any transaction costs charged by TD Ameritrade Institutional.
+ Can I invest with you without a financial plan?
Unfortunately we do not offer stand alone investing. Our investment strategies are driven by taking a holistic view of your financial picture, and we need a thorough understanding of your financial plan in order to customize portfolios.
+ Why do you charge a flat fee?
Common practice is for financial advisor's to charge a percentage fee based on the value of your account. Typically the fee starts at 1% per year. This means your fees go up just due to your account balance increasing. Under this method, you are punished for saving more, rolling over your retirement accounts, selling your home and investing the proceeds, or simply the stock market increasing in value.
