Frequently Asked Questions

Let us help you make the most informed decision by answering your questions.

Who are your clients?

Our business model is designed for people who are serious about making smart choices about their money. PR Wealth advisors have decades of experience working business’s and people in all stage life. Our typical client has investable assets over $500,000.

How long have you been in business?

The original practice was formed in the 80’s and taken over by David Perry and Joshua Robinson in 2004. They then rebranded to PR Wealth Management Group in 2007 and then transitioned the firm in 2015 to Registered Investment Advisory firm.

How often do you meet with your clients?

We typically meet in-person 1 - 2 times annually with our clients or based upon each client's preference. For our clients who live out of state, we suggest regular updates via email, phone, web-conferencing and in-person meetings as appropriate.

Do you invest in the same investments that you recommend to me?

Of course.  To do otherwise would be both unprofessional and incongruent (in our opinion).  Besides, we think we run some of the best diversified portfolios in the world.  So, ethics aside, our enlightened self-interest leads us to invest our own money right alongside yours.  

Think about it ... does it really make sense for a financial advisor to recommend one thing to you and then invest his/her own money in something different?    When their clients prosper, the advisor prospers, and when their clients suffer, the advisor suffers.  As it should be.

How often do you rebalance portfolios?

Although we consider rebalancing to be an essential part of professional asset management, most investors rarely rebalance their investments on their own, and many advisors merely rebalance annually or quarterly, without much regard to what's happening in realtime. We take a different approach. To be on the lookout for any opportunities, we monitor our model portfolios daily. We then rebalance your portfolio whenever we determine that the amount of cash in your account is too high or too low, or whenever any component of your portfolio has drifted too far from your target allocation. Because rebalancing incurs transaction costs and can generate taxable gains within taxable accounts, we monitor regularly for rebalancing opportunities, but we are judicious about acting only when we feel it will truly add value to your long-term investment experience.

We rebalance based on the unique investment objectives described in your Investment Policy Statement (IPS), so we also strongly encourage clients to let us know whenever their objectives change, in case we need to adjust their allocations, their IPS, and thus their rebalancing activities.
