Mission, Values, and Team

It's Always Been about Distinctive Service

In the 1990’s, our founder thought differently about investing.  Her beliefs were a stand out then and a continue to be that today.   While others chose to sell investments and collect commissions, our mission to be distinctive moved our founder to set up a financial-planning based business which operated on a fee-basis.  That was pretty rare 30+ years ago.  As we have grown, our services have expanded.  We thrived in the early years during the Dot-Com bubble, we think, because of the search to give a better, more distinctive service to clients. 

We strive to do the same today.    

In pursuit of the best client experience possible, we partnered with a hybrid registered investment advisory (RIA) firm which works with multiple investment custodians.  Unlike most financial firms, clients don't have to move their whole portfolio to a single place to get advice across their entire  plan and portfolio.  We believe that's pretty distinctive.
