I believe in a comprehensive approach to financial planning and I'm a firm believer in diversification. As an independent financial planner, I am not limited to the products and services of any one company, I can truly shop the market and present my clients with the best options in the marketplace. I make sure my clients are informed, educated, and then advised, so they can make the right choices regarding their financial future. Because Edward is a fully independent financial advisor, he is able to truly shop the market for every available financial product and present the best options. It's a significant distinction for his clients. After working as an advisor for several major financial companies, He says, I realized my clients options were limited to those offered by my employers. I knew I could better serve people as an independent advisor. Edward has never looked back. I take advantage of my independent status, He explains, to find innovative options and then design custom investment portfolios with maximum growth potential and a minimum amount of risk.
Edward has a full compliment of securities licenses: 6, 7, 24 and 63, is an Investment Advisor Representative, a CFP®, Certified Financial Planner (TM) Professional CLU®, Chartered Life Underwriter® ChFC®, Chartered Financial Consultant® A former publisher and Indiana State and Midwest Regional chess champion, Edward has never done anything that brings him more satisfaction than helping retirees and high net worth individuals achieve peace of mind.
