WHY PARTNER WITH MEENES WEALTH PARTNERS?

There are plenty of wealth managers to choose from across the country. Why might Meenes Wealth Partners be the right partner for you? Quite simply, because we are just as passionate about building your wealth and securing your financial future as you are.

FROM THE BEGINNING:

Meenes Wealth Partners founder, Jeffrey Meenes, CFP® has always had a fire in his belly.

*       He inherited his entrepreneurial drive from his grandfather, who taught him the wisdom of saving first and spending what remained.

*       As a “latchkey kid” who grew up in a humble, hardworking household, Jeffrey learned to appreciate the value of keeping one’s nose to the grindstone at a very young age.

*       He pursued higher education, earning a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and a Master of Finance degree from Boston College where he was the youngest graduate in his class.

*       Jeffrey seized several career opportunities at an early age, entering a Fortune 500 boardroom and planning program for CEO's, CFO's and corporate executives at the tender age of 21.

*       Jeffrey has been immersed in the financial planning world since the beginning of his career and understands the industry from multiple perspectives. For over twenty-five years, he has assisted clients in making optimal financial decisions. In 2008, he transitioned from corporate financial planning to help individuals and families enhance their personal finances.

A FIERCELY FIDUCIARY FINANCIAL PLANNER IS BORN

Jeffrey likely would have thrived in any of his early careers in accounting and corporate finance. But of all the positions he could have pursued, there was really only one that sparked his passion—financial planning and wealth management.

“It became clear that I could profoundly increase a family’s chance for financial success by introducing them to the fundamental fiduciary principles necessary to build wealth. I wanted to be the one to bring this higher level of financial planning to my clients, stripped of the excessive costs, complexities and conflicts of interest individuals often face, when facing off against Wall Street.”  ̶ Jeffrey Meenes, CFP®, Meenes Wealth Partners

MASTERING WEALTH MANAGEMENT

In 2009, Jeffrey founded Blueprint Financial Planning, to connect his seasoned financial experience with his personal ideals. In 2017, he re-branded Blueprint as Meenes Wealth Partners, to better reflect the upfront and continuous care called for when building and preserving family wealth: individualized financial planning, evidence-based investment management, tax planning, risk management, estate planning, and the strategic alignment of each. Jeffrey continues to apply his expertise to support working professionals, pre-retirees, and retirees build and preserve wealth with the goal of living life on their own terms.

OUR UNIQUE, COMPLEXITY-BASED FEE STRUCTURE

Unlike the traditional financial advisory business, we believe in and operate on a complexity-based fee structure. Instead of basing our fees on an arbitrary percentage of your Assets Under Management (AUM), we price each client relationship based on the actual complexities involved, including:

*       The intricacies of the financial plan

*       The types of resources to be managed

*       The scope of advice required

*       The frequency of meetings needed

*       Client preferences

The result? Fair, balanced, and transparent pricing that is customized to meet each client’s unique circumstances.

This fee-structure eliminates the conflicts of interest that may arise with the typical Assets Under Management (AUM) fee-structure by ensuring that the advice provided is not in correlation to compensation, but in correlation to what suits the client’s best interest.

In the AUM model, any reduction in total assets managed (through paying off your home mortgage or charitable contributions, for example) would subsequently decrease an advisor’s compensation. As such, an AUM advisor may be tempted to retain as many of his client’s assets under his management as possible, even if that choice was not in his client’s best interest.

In the complexity-based model, the fees are pre-determined based on your own unique needs and advice is provided without any alternative motive. Our fees do not increase simply because your wealth increases. The year after year fee savings you will achieve remains yours to compound and accumulate over time.
