About David Niles

With almost 40 years of experience as a wealth management professional, David has dedicated his career to helping clients simplify their financial lives. He is committed to long-term relationships and strives to deliver objective advice and demonstrated knowledge through exceptional client service.  He listens carefully to his clients’ goals, values and concerns and works to help them achieve their personal and financial objectives.

Upon graduating from Oklahoma State University in 1981, David began a career in engineering. But the lure of the financial services industry quickly intervened, and he was soon hired as an account executive at a small investment firm in Tulsa, where he began to build a solid clientele. Shortly thereafter, he was offered a financial consultant position for a nationally-recognized financial services firm. 

Throughout his 30-year career in financial services, David has had the privilege to work with three major investment firms, including Prudential, Wells Fargo and Morgan Stanley. This collective experience has given him a diverse set of skills and expertise.

David has managed assets for select high net worth clients since 1984.  He credits his engineering background for his approach to the business.  His philosophy is centered on having a focused plan and following a proven process.  His investment recommendations follow suit.  He believes in a disciplined approach to investing.

David and his wife, Anna, currently reside in Broken Arrow and have been happily married since 1981.  A devoted father, he has four children and eight grandchildren and takes great pride in all of their achievements. In 2009 David was pleased to have his son Phillip join his financial practice. In his leisure time, David enjoys golfing and vacationing with his family.  He always looks forward to visiting his cabin in northern Michigan every summer with his friends and family.

About David Phillip Niles

A native of Tulsa, Phillip grew up in a household dedicated to helping individuals achieve their financial goals. His father taught him first-hand the power of financial independence and inspired Phillip to follow a profession that would help individuals gain the confidence and fortitude needed to accomplish this goal.
 
During his freshman year at the University of Central Oklahoma, Phillip declared his major and began pursuing a B.A. degree in Finance.  Upon graduation, Phillip joined his father at Wells Fargo to form the Niles Group, before moving to Morgan Stanley in 2013.  Together, they work to empower individuals and families to create, preserve and derive income from their wealth.  Phillip plays an integral role in servicing their clients and assisting in the management of over $130 million in assets. 
 
Phillip’s financial education – combined with the technical experience provided by his seasoned father – has enabled them to develop a practice that is well suited for the fast-paced global economy in which we live.  Phillip has gained extensive knowledge of the LifeView® software technology, which is the tool David and Phillip use to help clients in the retirement planning process. Phillip is also well versed in long-term care and other insurance-related investment vehicles.

A current resident of Broken Arrow, Phillip is very active in various church activities and organizations.  He has been instrumental in bringing Catholic radio to south Tulsa by establishing a non-profit organization, of which he is the Chief Executive Officer.  When he’s not assisting clients, he enjoys sports, sailing and living an active lifestyle with friends and family.

6Physical precious metals are non-regulated products. Precious metals are speculative investments, which may experience short-term and long-term price volatility. The value of precious metals investments may fluctuate and may appreciate or decline, depending on market conditions. If sold in a declining market, the price you receive may be less than your original investment. Unlike bonds and stocks, precious metals do not make interest or dividend payments. Therefore, precious metals may not be appropriate for investors who require current income. Precious metals are commodities that should be safely stored, which may impose additional costs on the investor. The Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”) provides certain protection for customers’ cash and securities in the event of a brokerage firm’s bankruptcy, other financial difficulties, or if customers’ assets are missing. SIPC protection does not apply to precious metals or other commodities.

11Investing in commodities entails significant risks. The commodities markets may fluctuate widely based on a variety of factors including changes in supply and demand relationships; governmental programs and policies; national and international political and economic events; war and terrorist events; changes in interest and exchange rates; trading activities in commodities and related contracts; pestilence; weather; technological change; and, the price volatility of a commodity. In addition, the commodities markets are subject to temporary distortions or other disruptions due to various factors, including lack of liquidity, participation of speculators and government intervention.

12An 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.
