Our Approach
Key Questions
Do you charge for the introductory call?
No, the introductory call is free. It helps us figure out if we’re a good match. If not, we’ll gladly introduce you to a firm that better fits your needs.
Do I need to prepare anything for our introductory call?
No, no preparation is needed. If we agree that it makes sense to proceed with your initial financial plan, we’ll ask for a few basic documents after our call.
How does Traveka Wealth make money?
- We are a fee-only firm, so our clients are the only ones paying us—no commissions or any other incentive structures.
- Our fees are taken as a percentage of the managed investment portfolio, and are tiered to charge a lower effective fee as your portfolio grows. Fees are billed quarterly.
- With a minimum annual fee of $20,000, many of our clients have at least $2 million in investments for us to manage, but this is not required to start a relationship with us.
Who would I be working with?
We take a team approach. You’ll have a Lead Advisor as your primary contact and a dedicated Relationship Manager to provide support.
Who are your typical clients?
We do our best work with individuals and families whose financial fortunes have been shaped by the technology industry. Our expertise and history working with stock-based compensation and tax planning delivers enormous value to those in this situation.
