Other Tools & Resources
Investments
Though we manage publicly-traded securities of all types, most investors will benefit from low-cost, efficient, and tax-optimized model ETF portfolios. Clients may select portfolios managed by 55-IP, a JPMorgan company, from portfolio models provided by JPMorgan, BlackRock, and Fidelity. When one of these model providers makes strategic changes, 55-IP implements those changes seamlessly in your account. Similarly, Bionic Capital manages model portfolios from scores of providers as well as internally managed Bionic Portfolios. We work hard to find the best investment strategy for you.
Retirement
We can manage any type of account that our custodians accept, which is pretty much all types. From individual accounts, 401ks, IRAs, SEP IRAs, to personal trusts, your accounts are important vehicles to potentially defer taxation. We determine the best account to hold specific investments in order to maximize your odds for retirement success.
Insurance
We do not sell insurance. We manage portfolios for a set management fee and do not sell products of any type. Thus, our interests are completely aligned with yours. As a rule, fiduciaries like us do not offer products that are sold in exchange for commissions.
Savings
We manage investments and do not offer savings accounts. Because interest rates rose sharply in the last year, ultra-safe one-year treasuries are yielding over four percent. That’s a lot better than getting low rates from your bank account (as of 12/12/2022 – rates will vary). For risk-averse clients, we offer Laddered Treasury Portfolios that will typically yield more than most savings accounts.
Taxes
Paying taxes on investment gains reduces your overall returns. Thus, minimizing taxation on your portfolio gains is important. We have engaged 55-IP, a JPMorgan company, to manage portfolios in the most efficient and tax-optimized manner available. Some clients may benefit from a tax-advantage variable annuity from Nationwide (formerly Jefferson National) with no upfront fees or withdrawal expenses. Fees are only $20/month which goes to Nationwide and a 0.57% management fee to us. Tell us your situation and we will work with you and your tax team to find the best solution for you. We do not give tax advice.
Debt & Credit Cards
We do not offer debit or credit cards. We suggest talking to someone at your current bank or checking with NerdWallet to find your best options.
