Turning Point Financial offers investment management services either with financial planning or as a stand-alone service. If you don't get financial planning, you'll receive a basic investment plan. Turning Point manages investments with your permission to make trades without asking first. They use third-party tools to assess your risk profile and recommend a suitable portfolio. They also offer asset management services with customized model portfolios for an additional fee.
