Business Description |
Geesey Financial Group is full-service brokerage company that has been serving clients for 18 years.
Ken Geesey heads the business in Altoona and manages 4 other branches in Pennsylvania.
Ken is 59, married, father of 5, and a retired US Army Officer and former Corporate Panner for Consolidated Rail.
As a full-service broker, he holds the additional designation of CFS, Certified Fund Specialist, demonstrating expertise in Mutual Fund and Variable Annuity Investing. Ken takes a conservative approach to investing but leaves room to take advantages of opportunities that may arise.
Ken believes that there are three significant things he does that separates him from other advisors:
1. It's your money, not his. He advises, he doesn't
control.
2. He requests all clients to meet with him four (4)
times a year. He believes "out of sight" equals
"out of mind." Results improve with regular
reviews.
3. He is very defensive in down market times, often
resulting in nominal gains while major indices
are stumbling. This can be a major advantage over
"buy and hold" strategies. |
