Guiding Principles
We are held to a fiduciary standard; clients and their best interests should always come first.
Our ideal client possesses a willingness to act and is ready to invest in their future.
We believe successful investment results cannot occur without financial planning.
The best client outcomes have a basis in analytics and detailed research.
We will not simply attempt to outperform the stock market.
We will not attempt to time the market when investing for growth.
Fiduciary Advice
Our ideal outcomes start with a tailor-made, fiduciary approach to financial planning where clients and their unique needs are the only focus. Historically, inflexible solutions and opaque fees are what many larger institutions offer their clients, and it is time for a revolution.
Research, Review, Revise, Advise
Professional advice and solutions emanate from quantitative data and study. Historically, solutions offered by certain financial service professionals were driven by clout, intuition, or compensation. We believe the analysis of data leads to better outcomes.
Today and Tomorrow
Countless advisory firms are concerned with growth and rapid expansion at the cost of customer experience and client outcomes. We pride ourselves on our boutique size and flexibility; it delivers unique solutions and unparalleled client-advisor relationships that simply can't be replicated by a large conglomerate approach to something so intimate as personalized financial advice.
We leverage technology, our relationship with the Financial Planning Association, the CFP Board and a network of portfolio managers to deliver efficient planning and optimized outcomes.
Our Legacy
In February of 1993, Walt R. Worley III, left a technology career to begin serving affluent individuals in Washington DC. Motivated by a desire to help families take confidence in their future, Walt's focus on blending a client-first approach with a foundation in analytics stood in contrast to the industry where advice where solutions were offered and implemented based on compensation and intuition.
In November of 2014, Walter R. Worley IV CFP®, AIF®, left a career in Biochemistry and data science to join the financial services profession. This transition was motivated by a desire to engage more directly with individuals in a focused manner that directly improves the lives of others.
For nearly eight years, Walt and Walter worked side by side to blend a proprietary formula of data science, professional experience, and boutique customer service to deliver a one-of-a-kind experience.
