He learned the potential value of proper diversification and the importance of having a well thought out investment plan. He has also learned that working with the best institutional money managers can help aim to limit risk and provide a pathway for success.

When Robert began his career, he noticed an inherent conflict with many firms in the industry. After working with several large financial organizations, he decided to look for a company that was independent, in order to provide a objective environment for his clients and himself. He decided to join LPL Financial, the nation’s largest independent broker / dealer, as reported by Financial Planning Magazine June 1996-2018 based on total revenue. He believes that the best investment process starts with working with a firm that offers objective recommendations. LPL Financial does not offer proprietary products and does not engage in investment banking activities. He is able to provide investment recommendations that integrate a broad scope of investment products.

Robert has access to hundreds of the top institutional money managers in the country, which cover all of the asset classes. He has learned that it is extremely difficult for one company to cover all asset classes and do a great job. The amount of time and research it takes to analyze a company is substantial. That is why he works with organizations that are the best of the best in their defined area of investing. With the help of independent,research, Robert will carefully select from the thousands of investment management possibilities available today to build a portfolio that addresses your needs.

He has found that potential clients are looking for an advisor with experience, who communicates effectively, is accessible and provides fair fees. Robert offers these attributes and has found it to be a good recipe for a lasting business relationship.
