    Presentation & Implementation
    In this meeting we review your financial plan and confirm everything is accounted for and reflects your vision. If so, we move onto the specific investment strategies recommended in an effort to meet your goals. If everything meets with your approval we start the implementation process. Implementation can take several steps because we can cover multiple segments of your financial life, including estate planning strategies, trust, philanthropy and liability management.

About Samantha Ediger

I am passionate about working as a Financial Advisor because of the difference I can help make in the lives of my clients, their families and others they care about. Being the financial concierge for my clients allows me to manage their entire financial picture. My goal is to give clients the time they need to focus on their business and passions in life while feeling confident they are on track to achieve their personal and financial goals. My clients appreciate my consultative approach to assist them in managing risk, investing socially and environmentally responsibly and navigating the uncertainty of the markets.

I started working with clients in 1992 spending 16 years at Merrill Lynch and 11 years at Wells Fargo before joining Morgan Stanley. Samantha Ediger earned my degree from the University of Colorado and continued my education thru the College of Financial Planning earning the Certified Financial Planner (CFP ®) designation which requires I work with my clients to put their interests above all.

In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, scrapbooking, boating and car shows with my family.
