David Martin

Welcome

I am exclusively registered with Royal Fund Management as a FEE ONLY Investment Advisor Representative (IAR). Our firm manages our client's assets for a fee only and receive no commissions.   As a CFP since 1989, I am held to a high fiduciary standard and obligated along with our firm, Royal Fund Management, to act in the best interests of our clients.

As an IAR, I am compensated by way of a management fee only.  The amount of this fee is a percentage of the total amount of assets that are managed.  As a CFP and IAR, I may charge an hour fee or flat rate fee for comprehensive financial planning.

As a Certified Financial Planner and IAR, I have a fiduciary relationship with our clients.  Fiduciaries must put the interests of their clients first and are required to act in good faith from an ethical and legal perspective.  As a fiduciary, I vow to do my best to ensure that the advice we provide is ethical, accurate and complete.  In fairness to the investment community we will communicate and disclose any conflicts of interests our engagement may impose.
