Frequently Asked Questions

We work with individuals, families, and business owners across the United States.

While we welcome clients to our office in St. Louis, Missouri, all of our meetings and services can be conducted online based on your location or preference.

We want to foster lifelong relationships with our clients and be their financial guide from getting started with investing to estate planning. We also understand that everyone's financial journey is unique, and that's why we try to meet each of our clients where they're at. This includes one-time financial planning for immediate needs, subscription-based ongoing guidance for at least a year, and comprehensive asset management for long-term financial growth and security. Whether you're seeking a shorter engagement or a lasting partnership, we're committed to providing tailored financial solutions that evolve with your life's changes.

A fiduciary financial advisor is a type of financial advisor who is legally and ethically bound to act in the best interests of their clients and hold clients’ interests above their own. Fiduciaries have a “duty of care” to act with diligence and skill, as well as a “duty of loyalty” to try to avoid conflicts of interest and disclose any that arise.

Some financial advisors are only bound to a “suitability standard,” which means their recommendations have to be suitable for your goals, but not necessarily the best decision to help you reach your goals.

As a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) with CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professionals, Correct Capital is bound by a fiduciary duty to all of our clients.

Learn More: Our Story

Correct Capital is a “fee-based” financial advisory firm. The majority of the money we make comes from fees paid to us by clients, not from product sales. Our traditional fee structure is a percentage of your assets under management (AUM).

In selected scenarios where insurance or annuity products are suitable, we may earn commissions off of financial products we recommend, however we are still bound by our fiduciary duty to disclose that information to you and manage your account in your best interest.

Our team of advisors and portfolio managers has over 80 years of combined experience in wealth management and retirement planning, and we believe in the unique value each of them brings to our clients.

Typically, you’ll have one advisor or portfolio manager who is your point of contact. At the same time we take a “team” approach to managing our clients’ wealth, which allows our entire advisory team to be familiar with your finances and goals.
