    Working with Kyle Clark has been a standout experience from start to finish…read more After a deeply frustrating experience with another financial advisor program, I was cautious about starting over, but working with Kyle has been a complete 180. From the start, Kyle was thorough and patient. He walked me through transferring all of my existing funds, helped me establish clear savings goals, and gave me concrete, actionable guidance I could actually act on. What impressed me most was his timing: all of this unfolded during a period of significant personal transition for me, and he handled every step with professionalism and calm. The results have spoken for themselves. My portfolio has reached record highs, and for the first time, I genuinely feel in control of my financial future. If you're looking for an advisor who is competent and steady under pressure, I can't recommend Kyle highly enough!

Which ones do I combine? Am I investing too aggressively or not enough? What the heck is this fund? Nick Licouris did a fantastic job - we met twice, and he mapped out a detailed roadmap for me to get my financial house in order over the next few years, explaining everything in plain English anyone could understand. He confirmed I was headed in the right direction, but also pointed out a few things I was unaware of. He also correctly predicted how many hours it would take, so the cost was no surprise. I am very, VERY pleased with the results and I've recommended him to others and will probably hire him again, once I've executed the plan.

Think of homelessness in terms of those people who travel and navigate. Design your business in a way that respectfully acknowledges and supports the individual client who may be perceived as having less traditional goals, but whose choices might nevertheless bring insights and ingenuity to your client base. Encourage this significant part of the community to organize both their savings and their investments to achieve that. It was communicated that they are only opening accounts online, and that a only soft credit check is done. I also learned that a self-directed account without margin is free without any minimum $ to open, with the robo algorithm available at a minimum of 5k, with a Certified Financial Planner option for $300 to join, and then $30 monthly thereafter. I chose to stop my submission of my application to Charles Schwab only because of the use of the odd phrases "Transparency" and "Sweep Banks."

Since we had never needed one before, my husband and I wanted to be sure we were making thoughtful decisions for our future. We ultimately chose Patrick, and we couldn't be happier with that decision. His focus on sustainable investing made him stand out even more and aligned well with our values. Patrick is not only highly knowledgeable and professional, but also approachable, thoughtful, and easy to talk with. Nearly three years later, we remain extremely pleased with both his guidance and the results. The addition of Rachel Strong to the team has been another positive development. She has been wonderful to work with as well, and together they provide outstanding service and support.

He explained all the details clearly. I highly recommend Lear Capital. I choose them because they are number 2 on the top ten companies. Happy and satisfied 100%.

    Disclaimer: I am not without blame in the transaction with Lear that resulted in an estimated…read more$350,000 loss to my metal account. Lear did not do anything "illegal" but they certainly behaved in an unethical manner. Shame on me for not performing proper due diligence and of being too trusting. I needed to obtain a new broker for my metal account as the entity that I had used to purchase metal went out of business. The metal account is held with Equity Trust and they informed me that if I wanted to sell metals in the account in the future, I would need a new broker. I was considering a selling off some of the coins to meet my 2026 Required Minimum Distribution. The Equity Trust website listed a number of brokers they worked with and I started calling around. None of the listed brokers that I called (except for Lear) were interested in taking on an account that they had not been involved with initially. Lear Capital did agree to serve as the broker for my account and we entered into an agreement in early November 2025. One of my metal accounts at the time of the agreement consisted of a number of 2 oz. silver coins and the spot metal price at this time was a value close to $1.2 million. The Lear Sr. Acct. Mgr. suggested that I would be better off with a mix of gold and silver bars. I did not disagree. They purchased my silver coins at wholesale market price and, in my head, I incorrectly assumed that the bars they would then purchase on my behalf would also be at market price or something close to it. The price they charged me for the bars included an exorbitant markup which resulted in me losing about $350,000 in the process. During the recorded conversation of the above transaction, the cost of the bars was stated but it wasn't until close to the end of the discussion that a spread of about 33% had been applied was mentioned. When asked if I understood, I said "yes" but I clearly did not understand. If they had asked if I agreed to a price that was about 50% over market value, I would have said no. The recorded script pretty much lulled me as all the questions as asked, required only a "yes" or "no" answer. I just followed the script. Contractually, Lear could charge this high spread but the contact also allowed for a 2% spread which they conveniently ignored. After the transaction was completed, the broker indicated he would call after a few weeks. When that didn't happen, I reached out to him via email in early December to get an update. He forwarded my email to another broker who then contacted me. He indicated that the value of my account was $1.4 million which seemed great and was in line with what I expected given the market growth at that time. I asked him for a statement and he indicated he would get something to me as of a later date. Never got one. It was not until sometime in January 2026 when the bars that were acquired were entered into my account at Equity Trust that I realized I had been taken. I called Lear Capital to get an updated value and was told the account was now worth $1.7 million even though at that point I knew the actual value was significantly much less. Lear continued the scam by inflating the value! I then asked the account to be liquidated at Lear's valuation. I do not recall the rest of the conversation of that day because I was livid. Lear did not act on my request to cash in at $1.7 million. Neither this phone call or the earlier one in December were recorded. I made several subsequent requests for information and or statements by email and phone messages to both brokers but they were ignored. It was not until I filed a complaint with the BBB that someone finally responded to me and tried to smooth things over. The individual from Lear came across to me as being sympathetic and we had several conversations. He was willing to pay something to settle the complaint I filed. The offer, in addition to some metal, included a personal promise that Lear would not charge brokerage fees on future sales of my metal. I asked if he was willing to put this "guarantee" in writing on Lear letterhead but was told he could not do that. Hmm. Worthless. Subsequently, when I asked him to put in writing exactly what kind of metal he was proposing to settle this dispute, he said he would have to go back and try to reconstruct the details of the latest of several offers. Even though the value provided was down to the dollar, he could not provided the details. Hmm. After a couple of weeks went by, it was clear I would never be provided the information which should have been easy to provide. This is further indication this company is not one with which to do business. At this point, I determined that it was better to proceed with posting reviews rather than taking blood money. If you have any questions or want further information, I am also willing to discuss this nightmare in further detail by email at goldfool@proton.me
