With over 20 years of industry experience our purpose has always remained the same. We believe in developing long-term relationships with our clients and their families. This is the essence of what gives us purpose and it's how we will strive to continue to earn your trust and business day-after-day.

Investment Philosophy

Our portfolios are guided by an investment philosophy based on understanding your goals, disciplined planning, insightful advice and effective risk management. This philosophy helps us with our goal of ensuring strong and stable growth of your assets in a wide range of conditions.

We strive to innovate and look forward, invest like an owner, embrace human behavior, mitigate outside and inside risks, pursue real returns and work to provide quality advice, regardless of market cycles.


Clients

We work with individuals, families and organizations with invest-able assets over one million dollars of whom have wide ranging, often complex financial needs. As our clients' needs change and evolve over time so do the services and solutions we offer. Whether you are building your career or business, or shifting into retirement, our insightful counsel, disciplined planning and effective risk management can help to make you more confident in your decisions, and more focused on your future.

When we asked a few of our clients what they think of our services and overall satisfaction level they mentioned the following:

"Over the past 25 years I have worked collaboratively with Derek Avey in establishing a sound investment portfolio which has performed well, even during challenging times. 

Among his many strengths was/is his ability to clearly communicate and guide me to be a little more conservative in my investment strategy. This proved to be sound advice. I have achieved well above average returns with a modest degree of defensive protection against negative market swings.

As I head into retirement, I will continue to utilize Derek's expertise in providing a strategy for maintaining principal and providing a predictable income. 

Thank you, Derek for many years of commitment, and for educating me along the way!"

- Dr. Tobin D. & Lisa D.
