Understanding the Difference

Equita vs. TAMPs

QUALITY RESOURCES

Equita provides quality resources that allow for the best financial planning, the best portfolio management, and the best coaching and growth for each woman’s autonomous brand.

At Equita, we don’t see ourselves as “Aggregators.”

Many turnkey asset management providers (TAMPs) will provide their clients with the exact same investment portfolios — which is the opposite of what we do at Equita. Instead, we provide our Member Firms with customized, personalized portfolio solutions, which reflect the best-in-class service and guidance that we are proud to give our clients every day.

Our Promises to Each Other

Outside Of Our Investment Solutions, We Make A Set Of Defined Promises To Every Member Firm We Serve And To Each Other

01.

We Are Fiduciaries

All of our Member Firms are required to put their clients’ best interests first, always. As CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professionals, we have accepted the duty to uphold the highest standards of ethics when providing financial planning services and advice.

02.

We Are Fee-Only

This means we do not sell products under any circumstances. We are paid for the planning and advice we give to our clients and are compensated based on that advice, not based on an investment we sell.

03.

We Are Client-Focused

Our priority is to provide customized, comprehensive financial planning and wealth management services. Our Member Firms have the time to provide the best service possible because the solutions they need to run their business are provided by Equita.

04.

We Are Collaborative

We learn from each other through our members-only Mastermind Group, share resources we’ve curated from decades in the business, and offer a platform for succession planning so that our Member Firms are supported through every stage of their lives.

Value and Fees

Equita Financial Network provides complete transparency regarding fees and resources. We’ve done extensive research on the value of our member platform. We share the respect and company of like-minded women as well as proven resources that help your firm succeed.

Our fees listed below are based on Assets Under Management:

$20 million to $49.9 million

38% of all client fee revenue (assets under management and retainer revenue)

$50 million to $74.9 million

33% of all client fee revenue (assets under management and retainer

$75 million to $100 million

Please note that fee revenue excludes revenue received from financial planning activities. Once a breakpoint is reached by a Member firm, all assets at the Member firm will be billed at the new fee.

What Our Clients Say About Us

"Why Equita, and why now? Because Equita enables us to have a voice in an industry where we often feel like our words are dismissed."
