At 46 Peaks Investment Advisory Group, you’ll find a close knit team of like-minded professionals dedicated to helping our clients achieve the clarity, confidence, and control that is critical to achieving financial goals and enjoying the journey along the way. Our three founding members all have the following in common:
- Each has over 20 years of experience in financial services.
- Each has been a Certified Financial Planner® professional for at least 20 years.
- Each is particularly passionate about investment management, constant learning and ongoing research. We are not “me-too” kind of people that take the easy way – it’s in our DNA to aim higher than average, challenge the status quo, and deliver differentiated solutions.
- We all enjoy the outdoors – particularly the 46 Peaks area in the New York Adirondacks.
Make sure your co-workers have three characteristics:
• Integrity
• Intelligence
• Energy
If they don’t have the first, you better hope they don’t have the other two.
