We know that when it comes to your finances, trust and transparency matter. That’s why we’re answering some of the most common questions clients have about working with Allos. If you don’t see your question below, feel free to contact us — we’re always happy to help.
How do I establish an account with Allos Investment Advisors, LLC?
Start by completing our Allos Risk Assessment. Once it’s submitted, a member of our team will reach out to help you open your account and begin your investment journey with us.
Are there financial incentives for you to recommend certain financial products?
No. We do not receive commissions or incentives for product recommendations. We are paid through a transparent subscription fee for Allos+ planning and a fee based on the value of your managed assets. All fees are clearly outlined in your performance reports.
Do you take custody of, or have access to, my assets?
No. Your assets are held by an independent custodian. You maintain full control and are the only one who can withdraw funds. Allos is granted limited trading authority to manage your account and deduct our fees, nothing more.
Are my assets pooled with other investor funds?
No. Your assets remain in a separately managed account held in your name.
How often do you review my investments?
We review accounts on an ongoing basis to ensure transfers, contributions, and distributions are properly handled. Your portfolio is also monitored alongside others with a similar risk tolerance to maintain alignment with target allocations. Our investment committee regularly reviews positions to make thoughtful enhancements.
Can I access funds from my account quickly in an emergency?
Yes. If there’s enough in your account’s money market fund, transfers can be made to your bank account within 24 hours. If investments need to be sold, funds are generally available within 4–5 business days. We still recommend maintaining a separate emergency fund for short-term needs.
How often will I receive statements on my account?
You’ll receive monthly account statements from your custodian. Performance reports are updated online monthly, and we’ll email you when new reports are ready. Each quarter, you’ll also receive an overview of activity along with relevant economic or market commentary. Occasionally, we’ll send updates on strategic changes to your portfolio.
Can I have duplicate statements sent to another family member, CPA, or advisor?
Yes. We can set up duplicate statement delivery for any trusted party you choose.
Can I view my account online?
Yes. Once your account is set up, you’ll be able to access it securely through our website.
What if I want to close my account? Will there be a penalty?
You may end your investment management agreement at any time with 30 days’ notice. There are no penalties, and any unearned fees will be refunded.
How do I pay for your services?
Investment management fees are billed at the start of each calendar quarter and deducted directly from your investment account. Allos+ planning clients will have subscription fees processed via recurring ACH or as outlined in your planning agreement.
