This website is operated by UNest Advisers, LLC., an SEC Registered Investment Advisor. Brokerage services are provided to clients of UNest Advisers by UNest Securities, LLC, an SEC registered broker-dealer and member FINRA. Member of SIPC. Securities in your account protected up to $500,000. For details, please see https://www.sipc.org.

You can review more information about our services at the UNest ADV brochure and Customer Relationship Summary.

The savings calculation is based on the following assumptions. You contribute $250 every month to the account for 18 years. The account earns an annual return of 8%. The traditional advisor charges a 1% annual advisory fee, and the investment fund has a 0.45% expense ratio. UNest charges a $4.99 monthly membership fee which includes advisory services, and the investment funds have an average expense ratio of 0.07% annually. Additional details on the calculation can be made available upon request. The actual costs of working with a specific financial advisor may be different than this assumption. There is no guarantee of returns, and you may lose money, including the principal amount you invest.
