Garrett Investment Advisors, LLC Fee-Only SEC Registered Investment Advisor Firm

Justin Nichols, CFP® - Manager of Operations

We are very excited about our newest offering for members of the Garrett Planning Network, Garrett Investment Advisors, LLC, a new Fee-Only SEC registered investment advisor firm.

Since 2000, the Garrett Planning Network has helped hundreds of financial planners start and run their own independent RIA firms. In addition, we are now offering the ability for financial planners (who are members of the Garrett Planning Network) to join the Garrett Investment Advisors RIA firm. By becoming an investment advisor representative (IAR) of Garrett Investment Advisors, we take much of the compliance/regulatory, operations, billing, software/tool selection functions off your plate so you can focus on financial planning. The best part is that financial planners of the Garrett Investment Advisors RIA firm do business as their own brand name, they get to build their own brand, they keep 100% of their clients and they keep 100% of their revenue.

To become an IAR of the Garrett Investment Advisors RIA firm, qualified financial planners simply pay a flat licensing fee, effective January 1, 2012 and subject to change, of $700/month (based on an annual fee of $8400), which currently includes:

• Firm registration of 1 office with 1 IAR
  (including the firm’s ADV Part 2A and the IAR’s ADV Part 2B)
• Additional compliance items and support
  (including privacy policy, compliance manual, client service agreements, etc.)
• Complete billing solution
• Flexibility of one or multiple service models (Fee-Only hourly, Fee-Only hourly and retainer, Fee-Only hourly and AUM or Fee-Only hourly and retainer and AUM)
• Markel E&O insurance
• PreciseFP online confidential questionnaire
• MoneyGuidePro or Money Tree software (MoneyGuidePro or one of three Money Tree offerings: Silver Online, Easy Money or Golden Years)
• Redtail CRM software
