Meet Kartik Patel
Registered Investment Advisor Representative & Chief Compliance Officer, Simplify Investments
Greetings! I am Kartik Patel, Registered Investment Advisor* at Simplify Investments.
Simplify Investments is an Investment Advisory firm providing Portfolio Management and Wealth Management services to private individuals, families, and/or small businesses — primarily through widely traded Stocks, ETFs, and Bonds.
As of this writing, there are over 300,000 financial advisors in the United States. So, what sets Simplify Investments apart from most investment advisory services?
Sound Investment Experience
Kartik Patel has been investing family funds for over a decade and a half before offering services to the market. In an anonymous survey, the Journal of Financial Planning found that 46% of advisors had no retirement plan of their own!
Skin in the Game
No investment option (Stock, ETF, or Bond) is recommended that is not personally owned — or will not be owned as soon as the client owns it.
As of 01/2019: 10 of 12 recommended investments are personally owned. Two previously owned investments are still held by select clients based on their income needs or preferences.
Zero Commissions — Flat Fee Only
No income is derived from trades, transactions, commissions, kickbacks, or selling financial products of any kind. You can count on receiving unconflicted and transparent advice. Fees are charged flat based on assets managed.
You Keep Custody of Your Funds
No transfer of funds is required — to Simplify Investments or to any broker of our choosing. You choose the broker and keep your funds with you. No discretionary authority is granted over your account(s) either.
Philosophical Alignment First
Before signing up a new client, Simplify Investments ensures that client and advisor are philosophically aligned. This ensures a genuine long-term partnership built on shared values and investment philosophy.
If you have any needs that Simplify Investments can help with, please reach out. A complimentary evaluation of your current investments and portfolio is available — based on the evaluation, suitable investments can be advised for your specific needs.
Thank you for visiting today!
Best Regards,
Kartik Patel
