Managing Director—Investments

The Premier Advisor distinction is held by a select group of Financial Advisors within Wells Fargo Advisors as measured by three or more of the following: length of service with the firm, completion of educational components, business production and professionalism.

A Financial Advisor who has been awarded the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification has demonstrated skill in analyzing and developing personal long-term financial strategies. He or she has completed hundreds of hours of rigorous financial courses covering topics such as investment, retirement and estate planning strategies, income tax analysis, employee benefits and risk management. These courses are then followed by a 10-hour comprehensive examination administered according to the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ Board of Standards.

As an investor, you have short- and/or long-term goals you would

like to achieve. However, it may be difficult to get there without a

long-term financial strategy. A CERTIFIED FINANCIAL

PLANNER™ can help you find the answers to questions related to

your goals, such as:

Will you be financially prepared for retirement?

How will your estate be distributed to your heirs?

How will changing tax laws affect your investments?

Will you be able to afford a high-quality education for your

children or grandchildren? Few people can answer these questions on their own with confidence. This is where a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional steps in as your trusted financial advocate. He will take the time to help you address all of your financial concerns so that you can focus on what's most important in your life.
