Please click here for the Three Bell Investment Platform Overview. Three Bell leverages a seasoned investment committee to create customized investment portfolios for our clients.
There are three things that really set our investment portfolios apart:
1. We create laddered individual bond porfolios in house, which increases yield and control, while reducing redemption risk, fees, and taxes.
2. We make extensive use of alternative investments designed to provide true diversification by reducing correlation to traditional asset classes
3. We complement bonds and alternatives with a combination of managed low cost ETF and index fund strategies
Every portfolio is optimized for maximum tax effeciency across both taxable and non-taxable accounts.
Three Bell charges bills clients quarterly, in arrears, based on average daily balance, according to the following schedule:
$1M to $10M = 1% per year
$10M to $20M = 0.75% per year
$20M and Above = 0.50% per year
There are no long term contracts or committments and client assets are always held in neutral third party custodial accounts in their own names.
Please click here for the Three Bell Process Overview. After an introductory meeting, we implement a two step process:
Step 1 is a detailed Q&A called a Discovery Meeting, which helps us understand your personal situation and we can best help.
Step 2 is our Investment Plan Meeting, which is a comprehensive review of an action item checklist and proposed asset allocation.

About Wealthminder
Wealthminder was created for one simple reason: To help people get the financial assistance they need to achieve their long-term financial goals.
Wealthminder is a database derived from SEC.gov data covering every Investment Advisor Representative in the country. We work hard to collect and provide you the information you need to find a financial advisor who’s right for you.
Finding a Financial Advisor through Wealthminder
Historically finding and hiring a financial advisor was hard. Wealthminder was built to make the process much easier.
The best way to use Wealthminder is to take advantage of our free proposal system. All you have to do is take a few minutes of your time to describe your situation and the assistance you are looking for.
Wealthminder then sends your request to our network of prescreened financial advisors. If a financial advisor is interested in your business, they will submit a proposal to you.
You review the proposals you receive and decide if you’d like to have a follow-up call with one or more of the financial advisors.
Throughout the process, you maintain control. We only share your contact information with a financial advisor once you ask for an introduction.
