How does a money manager like Bradley, Foster & Sargent differ from traditional securities brokers?
A. Unlike most brokers, we are not paid commissions based upon the purchase and sale of securities. Bradley, Foster & Sargent’s compensation is based solely on the market value of assets under management in each portfolio. Accordingly, our interests are aligned with our clients’ interests. If we are successful in increasing the value of your holdings, our fees increase; if your assets under management decrease, our fees decrease, as well.
