Our Story and Services

To continue to support their clients' needs effectively and efficiently, Peter Jones and Salpi Doering recently teamed up to become a partnership with over 65 years of combined industry experience and have also expanded their practice to Vero Beach, Florida. Utilizing Peter's 43 years of experience on the institutional side, and Salpi's prestigious designation of Certified Financial Planner, teaming up has enabled them to incorporate new approaches and processes to benefit clients.

Where we differ from others is the standard of care and trust that is ingrained in our process. All advisors are not the same when it comes to this. It's truly important to us to really know you and what matters most to you. That's because once we understand your priorities, we focus on helping you pursue the financial aspirations you've set for yourself and your family. You can expect thoughtful advice and guide. It's not about industry benchmarks - it's about your hopes and dreams.

We think about change for the sake of improvement. Our approach is to understand, educate, and simplify so that you can do all things without worry. We have a very strong client referral program due to our world class client service model.

Do you currently work with a financial advisor? Are you comfortable with the counsel, service and solutions you are provided? Many clients first approach us with a nagging feeling that the advice they are currently getting is missing something. Changing Advisors may be daunting and scary. Our goal is to make this process as easy and transparent as possible. That’s why we offer a service we call “Second Opinion” through which we offer a forthright customized assessment of, and another perspective on, your existing investment portfolio and wealth management program.

7An investment in an exchange-traded fund (ETF) involves risks similar to those of investing in a broadly based portfolio of equity securities traded on exchange in the relevant securities market, such as market fluctuations caused by such factors as economic and political developments, changes in interest rates and perceived trends in stock prices. The investment return and principal value of ETF investments will fluctuate, so that an investor’s ETF shares, if or when sold, may be worth more or less than the original cost.

Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of an exchange-traded fund (ETF) before investing. The prospectus contains this and other information about the ETF. To obtain a prospectus, contact your Financial Advisor or visit the ETF company’s website. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing.
