Overview

Bates Financial Advisors, Inc. is an independent, privately owned registered investment adviser that registered with the SEC in 2011. The firm serves individuals, families and some institutional clients, offering financial planning and portfolio management for individuals and small businesses. Its ownership is listed as individual, and its advisory fees are charged as a percentage of assets under management and, in some cases, fixed fees. Bates is not structured as a capital allocator and does not describe itself as an active ESG investor or a multi-state adviser. The firm maintains industry relationships with broker-dealers, a law firm and an insurance company, reflecting a mix of referral and service relationships commonly used to support planning and implementation. Advisory activity focuses on traditional financial planning and discretionary portfolio management for private clients.
