FAQ

Get to Know Optima

How are you different from other wealth managers?
We’re a boutique, fee-only investment adviser, which means we are not beholden to any Wall Street special interests and can provide personalized, objective advice.

Optima’s minimum portfolio size is $1,000,000. Establishing a minimum allows us to provide the necessary level of service that clients with significant assets deserve.

All of your account assets are held in your name at Charles Schwab, which is insured by SIPC. Optima does not take custody of your funds and cannot access or distribute funds from your accounts without your knowledge and expressed permission.

Optima’s fee model is simple, transparent and based on the size of your portfolio. All the firm’s compensation comes exclusively from clients in the form of management fees.

Our full-service wealth management includes the ongoing management of client investments, as well as a complete suite of financial planning services that support you in every aspect of managing your finances. This integrated service is covered by a single fee, calculated as a percentage of assets under management.
