About Camarda Wealth Advisory Group

5 key things set Camarda apart: 1. Real Fiduciary Camarda is a dedicated fiduciary advisor, legally bound to put your interests first. We accept no compensation besides fully disclosed fees. Clients only pay for work they ask us to do. That's not true for something like 90% of advisors who are either straight commission, or worse, have both fiduciary and commission licenses. Such advisors may gain your trust as fiduciaries, but perhaps later switch hats, and charge you expensive but hard-to-spot commissions. We take fiduciary responsibility seriously. Our duty is to protect your best interests. 2. Credentialed & Experienced Advisory Team Finding any licensed investment advisor is easy hundreds of thousands have securities licenses. We think such licenses are too easy to get. No college, experience, or financial background is required. Smart wealth is complicated stuff. There's a lot on the line, including your quality of life, retirement, and family legacy. Getting it right is critically important. Camarda has PhDs on the team, as well as many advanced credentials, including IRS-admitted tax practitioners, and CFA^®s. Approximately 2% of advisors have the CFA^®. But if you want investment advice, don't you want a team with recognized expertise? 3. "Total Wealth Care" Finding a CFA^®-grade fiduciary advisor is hard enough. Finding a team expert in the other things you probably care about like tax reduction strategy, estate planning and trust design, asset protection, real estate, insurance, and business planning, is even harder to find. Luckily, you found us! The Camarda Group is experienced and knowledgeable in all these areas, and more. One quarterback, one team, one systematized, completely integrated wealth management process. You may have struggled in the past with finding a depth and bandwidth of expertise, but not here. 4. Proactive Portfolio Management Many advisors are religiously buy-and-hold or have similar passive strategies that make no effort to get out of the way of major market meltdowns. But if you're hit with a bear market in or near retirement, wealth can be erased forever& We think that can be a big mistake. While the market's long-term trend is generally up, sometimes severe plunges occur which can be devastating especially in or near retirement. A frequent investor complaint after such plunges is "my advisor did nothing to protect me." In contrast, we are extremely proactive managers. We watch the markets closely on an ongoing basis. We stand ready to make the moves we feel necessary to both optimize results and avoid losses. 5. Consistent National Recognition With decades of experience, Camarda is proud to have been repeatedly nationally featured*, including in The Wall Street Journal, Barron's, Forbes, Bloomberg, Investopedia, and more. *(Camarda did not pay for these recognitions. Barron's, a Dow Jones Company, most recently recognized Camarda 3/14/20 based on data through 9/30/19. Forbes most recently recognized Camarda on 4/3/24, based on SHOOK Research, LLC data as of 6/30/23. Please see https://camarda.com/faq)
