Frequently Asked Questions

What do your 401(K) plans cost and how does a plan pay for those costs?

Each client has a unique retirement plan and the fees will vary based on the size of the plan and the services required.  Anson Analytics only charges for those services needed. Please contact us if you wish for us to analyze your plan and determine if we can help improve your retirement plan.

Our clients pay for our services from within the 401 (k) plans. The fees are allocated among participants’ individual accounts in proportion to each account balance.

What do your private client services cost?

We are a fee-only financial advisor. Our clients pay us for the investment management services we provide to them. Our fee is tiered, beginning at 1% and declining thereafter based on the level of assets under management. We do not charge commissions or account fees and we never accept sales commissions, referral fees or any other form of compensation.

Is there a minimum account size for new clients?

All prospective clients are welcome to have an initial conversation with us, but we will generally engage in relationships with Corporate 401(K) and Defined Benefit Pension plans and Private Clients whose investable assets exceed $1,000,000.

Do you offer guaranteed results?

No.

Do we have to switch 401(K) platforms to work with Anson?

No. We are able to work with most platforms.

If I work with you where will my assets be held?

We use TDAmeritrade and Fidelity as custodians for our Private Client’s assets.

Have you ever been charged with any breeches or had any regulatory action against you?

No.  You can research the background on any Investment professional by going to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Website.
