About Us

As your financial advisor, I am dedicated to helping you achieve your financial goals. As a woman, who has had her share of mistakes as well as accomplishments, I can relate to your situation. Been there, done that. As a solo practitioner, I consider our relationship to be very personal and will be there to assist with all financial decisions.

We offer personalized financial planning and investment advisory services to meet your needs. One size fits all attitudes are best left to umbrellas and burgers. At Rosemary Frank Financial, LLC, we specialize in tailoring plans to not only fit your current situation, but also provide a foundation for future growth. No matter where you are in your financial journey, we endeavor to take you to the next level.

Tell me your greatest fears and concerns. Together, we can develop a plan, set some goals, identify action steps, and implement a strategy to overcome them. You are not alone. Professional guidance is available to help you manage your financial independence. I began this second career over twenty years ago because, as a woman, I felt misunderstood and underserved by the financial services industry. It is my personal mission to prevent as many women as possible from feeling the same way.

As a fee-only investment advisor, with overarching fiduciary responsibility to you, we always act in your best interests and serve you with utmost loyalty and good faith. We operate according to formally adopted Policies and Procedures, a Code of Ethics, and a Privacy Policy, each for your benefit. We are independent and accept no commissions or incentives from any investments we may recommend to you and we sell no products.

Our Philosophy

Rosemary Frank Financial, LLC provides you with the tools, personal resources, expertise, and guidance you need to make your best financial decisions. We believe in combining financial education, at whatever level you need, with individualized guidance and assistance. There are helpful blog posts and videos on this website, and I can refer you to others, which we can then discuss one-on-one to further your understanding of any topic.

I believe in striving to exceed your service expectations. Although I am a solo practitioner, the resources I bring to you go far beyond my personal capabilities. I have a relationship with a broker/dealer who completes all trade transactions as well as a host of administrative tasks to service your accounts. Additionally, if ever I was not available for any reason and you needed immediate service, they are available to you by phone. More amazing, the person who answers the phone on about the third ring will be knowledgeable and able to complete most service requests.

My investment philosophy is such that all accounts are separately managed and actively managed. That means that your money is managed according to your goals and objectives, and your individual risk tolerances, and not pooled with other peoples’ money. It also means that your accounts receive regular attention and adjustments are made according to how market indicators align with your personal investment profile.

For some people, financial planning is mainly concerned with how best to go about building a nest egg, and how to make it last through your elder years.

FAQ

Q

How long does it usually take for my account to transfer to you?

The establishment of an account, and issuance of an account number, is usually completed within 24-48 hours. The subsequent transfer of investments to that account will usually take 5-10 business days. We manage the entire process, and you need not contact the investment organization you are leaving.

Q

When I invest with you, where is my money held?

Our custodian of funds and clearing agent is Pershing LLC, the leader in global clearing and settlement solutions for nearly 85 years. Pershing LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon (BNY Mellon). You will access your account on Pershing’s client portal and Pershing will issue your monthly account statements and annual tax documents.

Q

Is there a minimum amount required to invest?

We usually request that you have at least $100,000 to open a relationship. This will enable us to be most efficient in providing services to you. Exceptions can be made on a case by case basis but there is a firm account minimum of $10,000.
