The Process to get Started
A. Road Map Meeting
- Provide Current Account Statement: Before the Road Map Meeting, you should provide your current 457b (and/or 401k, 403b, etc.) statement. It is recommended to get the PDF of the most recent statement from your plan provider's online portal
- Tip: Document your login information for the online portal – this will be needed later. Send the statement to Anew Advisors through our secure link: Secure File Transfer
- Complete Risk Analysis: You must complete a short online analysis through Anew Advisors Riskalyze. Use this link: Risk Questionnaire
- Documents After the Meeting: After the Road Map Meeting and when you give the "Go ahead," Anew Advisors will create and send you the following documents via DocuSign for your acknowledgement: Investment Policy Statement (IPS), Investment Advisory Agreement (IA), Privacy Notice, and ADV packet
B. Schwab Money Market Savings
- In order to bill our cost to manage the account, we will need to open an account at Charles Schwab. We will manage the savings account to try and receive a higher yield than the average savings account. Our cost is .80% and it will be withdrawn from the Charles Schwab account quarterly.
- Opening a New Money Market Account: A new money market account will be opened
through Schwab. To do this, you'll need to provide the following information for all
account signers:
- Full Names
- Email Addresses
- Cell phone numbers
- Date of Birth
- A photo of your Driver's License
- A voided check
- Money Link Setup: We will need to set up a Money Link for the account. A monthly savings plan will take place, with a specific dollar amount transferred on the 3rd
of each month, starting the first month after opening the account based on your account
balance:
- $0-100K = $100 a month transferred
- $100-300K = $200 a month transferred
- $300-500K = $350 a month transferred
- $500K+ = Custom Note: You can choose to transfer more than the minimum recommended amount.
C. Technology Partner Connection
- Adding to our Technology Management Portal: You have two options for connecting
your accounts:
- Option 1: Anew Advisors can send you a unique link to link your accounts to Anew Advisors where you will connect the account yourself.
- Option 2: If you prefer, we can walk your through the process online or over the phone.
- With either option WE WILL NEVER USE OR KNOW YOUR USER NAME AND PASSWORD
