ADDITIONAL FAQs

  • What do you do differently than other investment advisors?

    We are a fee-only registered investment advisor with a fiduciary responsibility to work in your best interest. This means we don’t get paid a commission for choosing a particular investment for your portfolio. Instead, we charge a fee based on the investment amounts we manage. And you won’t find a cookie-cutter approach to asset allocation at Ficadenti Tandon. We go beyond the traditional asset allocations used by many investment advisors. Our independence and experience allows us to provide additional portfolio diversification to minimize investment risk while offering unique opportunities for additional return.
