Mission

We're here to help you grow financially, so that you can build wealth for yourself and your family. That means taking a long-term view: we provide stable and consistent wealth management without losing sight of your personal needs, goals and values.

Investment Philosophy

Our goal is to maximize your long-term wealth by investing directly in publicly traded companies that meet criteria that have been delivering returns for nearly a century. We offer simple, modern portfolio management inspired by Warren Buffett's investment principles and wisdom. We avoid costly financial products, which have historically led to poor investor performance according to studies conducted by Dalbar Inc.[1]

Mutual interest and transparency: What's good for you is good for us. We manage our personal investments the same way we manage yours. And our fee-based billing structure means it's better for us to deliver optimal results for our clients.
