Private Investment Management (PIM)

As a PIM Portfolio Manager, Ken offers customized investment portfolios geared toward his clients' specific investment goals. Wells Fargo Advisors' PIM Portfolio Managers must meet eligibility requirements which include a minimum of two years experience as a portfolio manager, five years of industry experience, and successful completion of stringent securities exams. They complete advanced training, including an ethics exam, proxy exam and a 40-hour portfolio management training course. Only five percent of the Firm's Financial Advisors have met the criteria to act as PIM Portfolio Managers. Advisory accounts are not designed for excessively traded or inactive accounts, and are not appropriate for all investors. During periods of lower trading activity, your costs might be lower if our compensation were based on commissions. We need to review your investment objectives, risk tolerance and liquidity needs before we introduce appropriate managers/investment programs to you.
