behalf. We normally select among no-load (no commission), open-end mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. If you have investment assets in excess of $5 million we may employ separate accounts comprised of individual securities managed by third parties or COMPASS Wealth Management, LLC. Please be assured that your assets are held by a unit of Fidelity Investments - COMPASS has no authority to withdraw money from your accounts without your written authorization.
As an investment advisor, COMPASS receives preferential, institutional treatment at Fidelity benefiting you with broader mutual fund selection and lower pricing. We have the ability to select from over 4,000 mutual funds that may be purchased without incurring any transaction fee payable to Fidelity. This is roughly three times more than the number of no transaction fee funds from which you would be able to choose as a retail investor. For no-load funds that carry transaction fees, COMPASS has negotiated a significantly lower fee than is charged to Fidelity's retail customers. In addition, as part of our relationship with Fidelity, we have an electronic interface that allows us to view your latest account information and place trades electronically. As a client, you will also receive monthly investment statements from Fidelity, as well as confirmations of transactions performed on your behalf.
