Real Financial Planning
There is no substitute for being well-informed for your financial well-being. We are financial planners and financial educators – we want you to understand your financial plan and your investment portfolio. We strive to make complex wealth management topics understandable and relatable to your personal financial circumstances. You can participate in our regular client education events. You can find our thoughts on a variety of financial planning topics on WBIR’s Sunday Money segment or our column in the Knoxville News Sentinel. From cradle to college to retirement to the “end of plan,” we provide real-time guidance and support to you and your family on almost any topic. Read more at our blog.
Evidence-Based Investing
Markets rise and fall, but real wealth is built brick by brick to create a durable portfolio that can support your short-term and long-term financial planning goals and dreams. We have a disciplined approach to investment management based on time-tested principles of investing and portfolio strategies that are based on decades of financial science. No sales pitches, no high-flying performance claims, no get-rich-quick schemes, just reality-based financial planning. If you want to know more about our approach to portfolio management and our core principles of investing, send us an email, and we’ll describe how our financial planners integrate your investment portfolio with your personal financial plan.
