Bradley G. Barnett, CFP®CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ PractitionerSenior Vice President/ Investment Services |
My Philosophy
Simply stated, Brad is a trustworthy, analytical counselor and money manager. Since 1977, he has conscientiously avoided conflicts of interest and strived to do the right thing for his clients. Living up to this guiding principle has led to mutual success.
Brad's specialties include "hands on" asset management utilizing a fee-based approach, where he has an aligned interest with the client in the growth of their portfolio. He employs an active, contrarian, tactical style using both fundamental and technical analysis. There is no substitute for Brad's decades of experience in this regard.
He is also a firm believer in his other specialty: providing promissory retirement options/strategies using guaranteed living benefits available within a dynamic, insurance-based platform.
Brad is committed to understanding his client's needs and providing them only the very best financial strategies, tailored individually to help them at every stage of life.
