Retirement Plan Consulting

Your Wealth Deserves Better Than What You’ve Been Told.

The wealth management industry has a conflict of interest problem. Most firms are built to distribute products, collect fees, and keep you comfortable enough not to ask questions.

We’re built differently.

Faircourt Partners is an independent, SEC-registered RIA. We have one obligation — to you. Not to a parent company. Not to a fund manager. Not to a trading desk with preferred products and revenue targets.

Just You.

What We Do

We Don’t Manage Money. We Manage Outcomes.

There’s a meaningful difference between an advisor who puts you in funds and an advisor who builds a strategy around your life. We do the latter.

We eliminate hidden fees and portfolio friction. The stated expense ratio on your statement is only part of the story. Turnover costs, 12b-1 fees, soft dollar arrangements, and embedded capital gains create a layer of drag that never shows up in plain sight — but compounds quietly against you for decades. We find it, quantify it, and eliminate it.

We reduce the layers between you and your money. Most portfolios are built with more funds than they need, which creates duplication rather than diversification. When the same stocks are owned across a dozen different funds, you’re paying multiple managers to do the same thing — and generating unnecessary trading costs every time one of them buys or sells. The fix isn’t complicated. It’s just rarely offered, because the big banks make more money the other way.

We specialize in tax mitigation. A great investment return means nothing if taxes consume it. We design strategies specifically built to defer and significantly reduce the tax consequences of wealth accumulation and significant liquidity events.

We give you institutional access. For decades, the most efficient, transparent, and tax-advantaged ways to invest required a minimum of $50M or more. Financial technology has changed that. We give our clients access to institutional-quality investment structures that were previously out of reach for anyone below that threshold.

We are your fiduciary. Full stop. We do not collect commissions. We do not sell products. We do not have a preferred fund family. When we act, it is in your interest — not ours.

Engaged employers are only half of the equation. We understand that every company is made up of a highly diverse workforce with varying needs. Employees represent the entire spectrum of age, wealth and investment experience. At Faircourt, we recognize that diverse needs demand a dynamic partner.

Who We Work Best With

We work with people who have meaningful complexity and want a partner who can handle it — and be honest about it.

  • Business owners navigating a liquidity event
  • High-income professionals with significant tax exposure
  • Families with concentrated positions or legacy assets
  • Anyone who suspects they are overpaying and underserved

Here is a number worth considering: only 3,600 stocks trade in the United States. If your portfolio holds 20 or 30 funds, and each fund owns thousands of positions, the math produces something closer to 50,000 or 100,000 holdings on paper — the vast majority of which are duplicates. That is not diversification. That is friction. And you are paying for every layer of it.

The Faircourt Difference

Independent. Fiduciary. Single-Minded.

We are not a wirehouse. We are not a bank. We don’t multitask in the pursuit of your most important goals — and neither should your advisor.

We are agnostic and calculating. We cherry-pick the best strategies at the lowest possible cost and build a plan that is as unique as your situation. Then we stay accountable to it.

Nothing we do is reinventing the wheel. But saving half a percent in fees every year, eliminating hidden drag, and investing with the efficiency of an institution — compounded over 30 or 40 years — could make millions of dollars of difference. Purely from doing it right.

That is not a common approach in this industry. It should be.
