Heritage Oak Wealth Advisors is a registered investment advisory firm. This means we have a fiduciary duty to act in the absolute best interest of our clients. We must follow the trust standard, the highest in law, which requires us to place the interests of our clients ahead of our own interests. Heritage Oak does not work for a broker-dealer; we only work for our client.

Heritage Oak uses a third-party custodian for your assets. We do not keep your assets in-house. This gives us limited power over your assets; we have the power to buy and sell securities on your behalf, move funds between your accounts, and have funds sent directly to you. By using a third-party custodian, you can crosscheck the records we provide you with the records from the custodian. This ensures you that your money is in all the right places at all times.

Fee only investment advisors are not compensated by commissions from selling investment products. Instead, they are compensated by fees. The fees can be hourly, a flat fee, or a fee based on the amount of assets under management (AUM).
