FIRST ASCENT IS NOW PART OF GEOWEALTH! LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS POWERFUL PARTNERSHIP.
Partnering with financial advisors for the benefit of their clients.
We aspire to create a corner of the world where clients truly do come first. Most investment firms say they care about their clients, but actions speak louder than words. Many seem more focused on themselves than on helping clients reach their goals. We think there’s a better way.

The Flat Fee TAMP
Flat-fee pricing is simple.
It’s easy to administer.
It’s transparent.
Our flat fee structure means there’s no mystery about how much you will pay for asset management. Take comfort in knowing what your exact fees will be each year.
Flat-fee pricing fits perfectly into a world where the client’s best interests come first.
Advisors can offer professional portfolio management services to their clients for less, and clients get to keep more of what they earn as their accounts grow over time.
Our fees do not include financial advisor or custodian fees.
