Why is it so important
Bryan Muir, shares his story:
“When I was 18, I had $1000 to invest. I was so excited that 1) I had $1000, and 2) my adult life was officially beginning! At the time, I went to a financial advisor whose name was well known in the financial world. Not knowing anything about financials or investing, I thought the short 5-minute interaction we had went well and was the norm. He took my money, invested it, and then I never heard from him again.
20+ years later and I am still impacted by this interaction and how I would never want to leave clients not understanding their investments, feeling as though they weren’t heard, and not seeing any returns. Since 1998, I’ve committed to educating myself on investments, earning recognized and highly respected certifications, and building proper process and communications to support others with their wealth management. Simply put, I want clients to know what’s happening with their money.
I care. So, let’s start building a bit of trust through an open conversation.”
