About Louis B Lachter

Lou Lachter believes it’s not just vital for high-net-worth clients to have an effective financial plan, but it’s also essential they understand the elements of the plan and how it works together to help preserve their wealth, achieve their goals and build their legacy. Through his more than three decades in financial services, he has found that knowledge leads to a sense of security which can help weather the inevitable market fluctuations.

When his father passed away unexpectedly, Lou needed to provide financial guidance to his mother. Seeing first-hand the consequences and financial impact of a life changing event, he refocused his studies onto finance and resolved to help others avoid the dilemma his mother faced. Lou went on to earn a Bachelor’s degree from Syracuse University and an M.B.A. from Texas A&M University. In 1990 he became a Financial Advisor at Legg Mason which eventually became part of Morgan Stanley where he founded the Bethesda Heritage Group. Lou lives in Rockville with his wife and two children.
