Strategic Wealth Partners Recognized for Exceptional Commitment to Organic Growth

Strategic Wealth Partners was recognized by Focus Financial Partners for the firm’s exceptional commitment to organic growth.

In November 2014, Strategic Wealth Partners joined Focus Financial Partners, a leading partnership of independent, fiduciary wealth management firms. Focus provides superior access to best practices, resources and continuity planning for its partner firms. Focus partner firms maintain their entrepreneurial independence, while they benefit from the synergies, scale, economics and best practices of the market leader to achieve their business objectives.

“We’re proud to have won the Organic Growth Award from our partners at Focus Financial Partners at the recent partners meeting in Deer Valley, Utah,” said Neal Price, principal of Strategic Wealth Partners. “For us, organic growth is the natural result of our people working together toward a common goal: taking great care of our clients.”

“By improving efficiencies, developing our “next gen” talent and hiring great new team members, we have been able to build capacity while enhancing service,” said Price. “The Focus partnership has also been invaluable as we are able to share best practices and resources with other partner firms. Much of our new business comes from our current clients introducing us to the people they care about most. We are always grateful for these introductions as it is a wonderful recognition of our strong commitment to making sure our clients are well cared for.”

I recently worked with a client, we’ll call her Laura, who had just finalized a divorce after 27 years of marriage. She had always been involved in the family’s finances, but for the first time, she was solely responsible for her own estate. Her first question to me was, “Where do I even begin?”

If we’ve worked together for any length of time, you know I regularly talk and write about investor psychology, especially how tuning out day-to-day market headlines can lead to better long-term results.
