Custody & Reports
We provide the information you need.
Custody:
Like most Registered Investment Advisors, Deighan Associates does not serve as custodian for your portfolio. Unless you have a preference for a particular custodian, we recommend Charles Schwab's Institutional Services.
In our experience, Schwab has provided excellent service at a reasonable cost. Schwab Institutional provides us with up-to-date client information through a daily data transfer process that allows us to spend less time on operational issues and focus instead on the portfolio management issues that are most important to you.
Reports from the Custodian:
In a discretionary account relationship, most of the client's interface will be with the investment advisor. However, the relationship with the custodian is technically separate from that with the investment advisor. Thus, clients must complete an account application and related forms with the custodian in addition to signing a management contract with the advisor. The custodian will send monthly statements and other information directly to the client. This is standard practice and is designed to provide the necessary checks and balances required by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Please see our Disclosure Statement for more information about custody, securities transactions, and commissions.
Reports from Deighan Associates:
In addition to monthly statements from the custodian, you will receive quarterly portfolio reports, and the Deighan Associates Quarterly newsletter. We also send a year-end report designed to assist you or your accountant with the preparation of income tax returns. Beyond these standard reports, we are pleased to provide written reports on an interim basis at your request.
