The advisor fees is to be paid directly by the client, and it is the client’s responsibility to verify the accuracy of the fee calculation.

MAWS believe that the charges and fees for its services are very competitive; however, lower fees for comparable services may be available from others. A conflict exists between interests of the investment adviser and interest of the client. The client is under no obligation to act upon recommendations, and if the client elects to act on any of the recommendations, the client is under no obligation to effect the transaction through the investment adviser. Lower fees for comparable services may be available from other sources.

As a fee only and independent financial adviser, we charge flat fee, percentage fee, project fee or an hourly fee for our services. Our clients pay fees based on an hourly rate of $350 or flat fees for projects. The range of flat fees is between $1,500 to 20,000 for comprehensive financial planning based the complexity of the task. All other compensation is based on percentage fee, project fee or an hourly fee for our services. This form of compensation for registered investment advisory firms avoids the multiple inherent conflicts of interest associated with commission-based compensation. Our goal is that our advice to you remains at all times in your best interests, disregarding any impact of the decision upon our firm’s revenue.
