FAQs

 

Why should I hire a financial advisor to manage my money?

A financial planner can help you navigate the complex world of finance and help you align your values and goals.  The financial advisor should be well-versed with all financial and tax planning topics and experience to help protect and grow your savings.   By working with a knowledgeable advisor, you may be able to take advantage of financial planning opportunities and invest in a more tax efficient manner than indexing or active mutual fund strategy.


Where will my assets be held?

We have selected Fidelity Investments and Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., a subsidiary of The Charles Schwab Corporation, as the custodians for our client assets. We believe both firms’ significant scale allows them to provide latest technologies and low-cost third-party custodian services. Song Wealth Management will never hold client assets, which means only you (the client) will be able to contribute and withdraw funds.
