The Swanson Group, established in 1973, has grown into a full-service private wealth advisory business offering a suite of resources. Today, we advise over $2.5 billion of client assets under management (as of April 2026).
As a trusted advisor, we offer holistic services across pre-liquidity event planning, asset management, family governance, succession planning, concierge services, childhood wealth education, lending solutions, estate planning strategies, trust services, risk management and more.
Many advisory teams serve hundreds of relationships. At the Swanson Group, we deliberately focus on a select group of affluent clients. By maintaining a 20-to-1 client-to-advisor ratio, we are able to curate highly customized strategies by developing a deeper understanding of your needs and goals.
As a diverse team of twelve professionals, we serve clients in over 30 states from our offices in Des Moines, St. Louis, and Chicago. We have always remained true to our Midwestern roots by valuing integrity, trust, hard work and forthright advice. We believe our clients deserve nothing less.
We begin new relationships at a minimum of $5mm of investable assets.
