Not only does Blakely Wealth Management offer a comprehensive range of financial services, our clients can also choose how they would like their portfolios managed, based on their desired level of involvement.

Partnership Plus Program

For those clients interested in being actively involved with their portfolio planning, we offer a program called Partnership Plus.

This is a fee based program that gives the client the benefit of working directly with an investment advisor who will tailor their portfolio to best meet their needs.

Clients pay one transparent, all-inclusive fee rather than paying commissions on each trade. The fee is not linked to the amount of trading on the accounts, but rather is based on the overall value of the portfolio.

All administrative fees on registered accounts are waived for Partnership Plus clients. For non registered accounts, this fee is fully tax deductible.

By eliminating commission cost concerns when deciding to realign securities in a portfolio, clients can feel confident that their advisor can react quickly to market movements and are truly acting in their best interest. Clients are consulted for each recommendation in the portfolio and will have an in depth annual review with their advisor.

Managed Portfolio Program

For clients who do not want to be involved with the daily decisions on their portfolios, we offer the Managed Portfolio Program.

This is a new offering from Blakely Wealth Management for our clients who wish to delegate the task of making day to day portfolio decisions to their advisors.

Clients will have a detailed Investment Policy Statement that will be used to ensure that their accounts hold the appropriate mix of investments in order to achieve their long term needs.

Managed Portfolio Program clients pay an all-inclusive fee based on the overall size of their portfolio. This transparent fee (which is fully tax deductible for non registered accounts) eliminates the need to pay commission on each individual trade in the account, thereby allowing the advisor greater flexibility to react quickly to changing market conditions.
