Case Study:  Investments  A family Foundation placed its investments with a variety of brokers and investment advisers.  Finer Wealth Management, Inc. performed an initial review of the Foundation's investments, and during that review, we identified that various instruments held by the Foundation were being burdened with significant fees. 

In addition, there was no Investment Policy Statement to guide the Board of Directors or Investment Committee with respect to the execution of an investment strategy. 

Finer Wealth Management, Inc. assisted the client with the design of a new Investment Policy Statement and also continued to provide guidance to the client with respect to less costly investments. These new investments achieved excellent results with better net yields.
