Pollock Planning Associates was founded in 1985. The firm has served a broad variety of clients on a fee-only basis for over twenty years. We believe that continuing guidance and education are essential building blocks for a sound financial plan. Being compensated on a fee-only basis allows us to be accessible, objective and to make decisions with only your best interests in mind. Our raison d'être is to help you realize your life-long financial goals. What's behind fee-only? We have felt strongly from the start that the fee-only model stands alone in allowing an advisor to act with an unmatched level of objectivity. We believe that an inherent conflict of interest exists should we stand to gain financially from any course of action or product that we recommend to you. We charge a fee for our services that is based primarily on the time involved to provide the service. Many advisors and salesmen who sell products use the term "fee-based" to describe their method of compensation. What this actually means is that, in addition to a commission received, they are also charging a fee for some of the services that they provide. While this may seem like a subtle distinction, in practice, when one has a hammer in their hands, everything starts looking like a nail. For example, a life insurance salesman is in a position to offer a range of products to solve just about any financial need be it retirement income, a savings vehicle or education funding. As a guard against an untimely demise, pure life insurance is unrivaled ... elegant solutions.
