WHY OLD PEAK
NO TWO CLIENTS ARE THE SAME
Every client relationship starts with a detailed financial plan. This takes about a month and involves multiple discussions with you and in-depth review of several dozen documents like brokerage statements, wills, tax returns and insurance policies.
NO COMMISSIONS
We are fiduciaries and our client fees are our only compensation. Our only incentive is to recommend what’s best for you, always.
LONG-TERM, ACADEMIC VIEW ON INVESTING
We invest the way sophisticated institutions invest. We use research that won a Nobel Prize in economics to maximize potential investment returns.
CFP® PROFESSIONALS
Believe it or not, there is no minimum certification to work in the financial services business. We think that's wrong. Each of our clients have a CFP® PROFESSIONAL on their team.
