We offer ongoing portfolio management services based on each client’s individual goals, objectives, time horizon, and risk tolerance. We create an Investment Policy Statement for each client outlining their current situation, income, tax levels, and risk tolerance.
Services include investment strategy, personal investment policy, asset allocation, asset selection, risk tolerance assessment, and regular portfolio monitoring. We generally limit investment advice to mutual funds, fixed income securities, insurance products including annuities, equities, ETFs (including precious metal ETFs), and treasury inflation protected bonds.

Asset-based fees are withdrawn directly from client accounts with written authorization on a monthly basis, paid in advance. Clients may terminate the agreement without penalty for a full refund within five business days of signing.
Clients are responsible for all third-party fees (custodian fees, brokerage fees, mutual fund fees, transaction fees, etc.), which are separate from Cascio Wealth Management’s fees.
We provide advisory services to individuals, high-net-worth individuals, and corporations or business entities. There is no account minimum for any of our services.
