Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does StrategicPoint do?
A: StrategicPoint helps clients like you with investable assets between $250K and $5M achieve your financial goals by finding the intersection of what you want and what is financially possible. We do so by talking with you and—more importantly—listening to you.

Our goal is to create a process through which you can gain peace of mind and confidence in the firm with which you have chosen to work.

Q: How is StrategicPoint compensated for advisory and investment services?

Q: What is a Form ADV?
A: Advisors use a Form ADV to register as an investment advisor with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This is a legal document that ensures we are who we say we are-Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs). The Form ADV has two parts. Part 1 contains information about the advisor's education, business and disciplinary history within the last ten years. Part 1 is filed electronically with the SEC. Part 2 includes information on an advisor's services, fees and investment strategies. Currently, the SEC does not require advisors to file Part 2 electronically.

Before you hire someone to be your investment advisor, always ask for, and carefully read, both parts of the advisor's Form ADV. Contact us to request a copy of StrategicPoint’s Form ADV Part II.
