An LPOA enables us to place trades and deduct advisory fees from your account(s) but restricts cash withdrawals or transfers to accounts not owned by you.

Advisory fees will only be deducted from your account in accordance with a written advisory agreement and we will send an informational invoice to you at the same time. Additionally, TD Ameritrade will provide trade confirmations and monthly statements to you directly so that you have a record of what activity has taken place in your accounts. TD Ameritrade also provides an Asset Protection Guarantee that can provide up to $150 Million of coverage for your account.
