    Pure Portfolios was the vision of two reformed bankers that sought to shake up the stale wealth management model. We felt charging investors more than 1% was too much, so we lowered our fees.

    Collecting a fixed percentage of assets, regardless of performance and risk management, seemed unfair, so we decided to tie our fees to client outcomes, discounting fees during tough market environments.

Excellent podcast but diluted since Nik has left the show

I very much enjoyed listening to this podcast since its inception, brilliant commentary and creative framing of financial issues. However, I gave it four stars since Nik has been replaced.However, I will continue to listen as the two folks that are on the show are outstanding too!
