Enabling people to plan life well through smart & thoughtful financial guidance.

Our Investment Philosophy

PLAN. PROFIT. PROTECT.™

Seth Allen.

Committed to their financial well-being, our solitary goal is to help our clients create the life they want, with the preservation of their savings being paramount. As such, we are committed to investing their hard-earned savings in suitable, best-in-class investment strategies that will preserve and grow their wealth over the long term.

How do we do it? In addition to investing in economic sectors that show strength with positive momentum, we employ a proven variety of tactical asset allocation strategies such as the use of cash-like investments during times of uncertainty. We are students of Benjamin Graham (Warren Buffett’s pedagogue) who believed “management of risk is more important than management of returns”.

While implementing our proactive investment management approach, we focus on
measured risk, consistent returns
and effective execution.

“Tanya Wilson and her team are top notch professionals who go above and beyond. She is smart, polished, market savvy, and is genuinely concerned for my financial well-being first and foremost. Her communication style is personable and punctual, and she is well connected in the industry. I am impressed with Raymond James as an organization, but specifically with Tanya's education, training and experience. Now entering into my retirement years, I searched for a financial partner who incorporated tax and estate planning, and am quite pleased to have been connected to her. She quarterbacked the entire complex process of my estate and did so with a smile. If you are looking for superior financial guidance, experience, and peace of mind, I highly recommend Tanya Wilson and her team. &...

“As an owner of a financial firm, we understand that our clients aren’t working with us because they want average. They want the best of what is possibly out there. When we started interviewing Portfolio Managers, we knew that we wanted the same for our clients. Someone that we can trust, is a leader in their industry, someone that sees beyond the short term and consistently deliver long term results because of their unique abilities organizational and personal self-discipline. Seth Allen and his team have been all of those things and much more. We have referred Seth to numerous clients and he continues to exceed our high expectations.” – Jeremy Reinbolt, CIM, President and Chief Financial Advisor, Videre
