Our Mission
Gartenhaus Financial Corporation’s mission is for our advisors to develop and implement financial and investment strategies that allow our clients to achieve both their short and long-term financial objectives.
A comprehensive understanding of our client’s goals enables us to develop and implement our financial planning strategies in an effective and cost-efficient manner.
The professionals at Gartenhaus Financial stress asset allocation in an effort to maximize returns within a given risk level. We invest in mutual funds and, when appropriate, invest in individual securities—employing money managers that possess proven and successful track records.
Once investment selections are made, our staff works to make the implementation process as seamless and effortless as possible. We then continue to monitor your investments for performance, management style, and strategy—ensuring they meet your expectations.
We help our clients answer these and many other important questions:
- From an overall perspective, how am I doing?
- I’ve done well with my investments over the past several years, but I’ve been getting skittish about the market lately. Are there ways to potentially protect my profits?
- What are the appropriate investments for funding my child’s college education?
- Am I saving enough to maintain a similar standard of living when I retire?
- I own a small business. I’d like to set up a 401(k), but feel it’s too expensive. Are there other, less costly alternatives?
- Do I need a will, living will, and/or trusts established as part of my estate plan?
- Am I taking advantage of all allowable methods to reduce the amount of tax I pay?
- Should I own a long-term care policy? When is the best time to purchase it?
- Do I have enough life insurance? Too much?

Compensation
We feature one of the industry’s most flexible client-advisor compensation programs. Clients may choose from one of the following compensation methods for our services:
Asset Management Fees
Clients choosing the fee method are charged a percentage based upon the assets under management. These clients receive quarterly performance reports and are eligible for quarterly review meetings. The fee is billed and assessed quarterly. Account size minimums and fees vary with each management program. Specific information is available upon request.
Commission
Clients who do not qualify for our asset management programs due to account size minimums may utilize our commission-based compensation plan.
Prospective clients also have the option to work with us while paying no fees and no up-front commissions or loads (such methods may contain back-end redemption charges and higher 12-b [1] fees).
As partners, we work together to find the best solutions. For more information on structuring compensation arrangements, simply contact us.
Thank you.
