In June 2019, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released a new policy requiring that registered investment financial advisors, as well as broker-dealers, who work with investors in retail businesses must provide a customer relationship summary, or CSR.
This document is intended to ensure transparency and should disclose service offerings, the types of customer relationships a firm maintains, as well as any associated fees, costs, or conflicts of interest.
As part of the requirement of investment financial advisors registered with the Securities Exchange Commission, we have supplied this detailed brochure. In this document you will find our fees, services, and any conflicts of interest we might have. When evaluating a financial advisor we recommend reviewing their ADV Part 2A (aka “the brochure”).
In particular we advise you to read the section on the advisor’s fees to find out how they may benefit monetarily from working with you. In our ADV Part 2A you will find our fees in a transparent and straightforward manner as a commitment to you and your peace of mind, as well as in accordance to the laws and fiduciary standard. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
In the ADV Part 2b you will find information on Morris Financial Concepts’ investment advisors. This document provides details on everyone in our office who is licensed to give investment advice. Here you will find the employee’s background, credentials, and a disclosure of any conflicts of interest they may have.
When making trades, often there can be a cost associated with managing your portfolio. These fees are usually identified in a “Wrap Fee Program.” Some firms charge a fee to enroll in their Wrap Fee Program, however at Morris Financial Concepts once you reach a certain fee threshold you will automatically enroll in the program. This means MFC will pay your transaction and trading fees for you.
For those clients who do not reach this fee threshold, there are some additional costs associated with managing your portfolio. The details of our Wrap Fee Program can be found in our Wrap Fee Policy.
We are committed to maintaining your privacy to the fullest extent. Our privacy policy provides details on the measures we take to protect your privacy. Should the occasion occur where we are required to share your data, for example, if you are also a client of Morris Tax Planning or if required by law from federal agencies, our Privacy Policy document will detail how or why we would share your information with other organizations.
