For years, that’s what I said about the wealth management business.
For 25 years, I worked at two of the largest global wealth management companies. In that time, I learned a lot — many positive things and also many not-so-positive things about the industry.
A few years ago, one of my industry colleagues and I were having a cold beverage. He was listening to one of my rants about how the industry needed to change. Finally, he told me:
“Please either do something about it or stop talking!”
I did something about it. In 2017, our team left Morgan Stanley and started Archetype Wealth Partners. Our vision is to build the ideal, God-honoring wealth management company. We want to one day be in the largest 10 firms in the wealth management industry so that we can make a greater, positive impact. Our mission is to connect clients’ money with their purpose so that their family thrives across generations. Our core focus is to help people live abundantly. We understand that money is a big source of conflict and struggle for many families. We would like to not only minimize that pain, but turn that money headwind into a tailwind for people to maximize their potential.
As we “Rebuild Wall Street”, we see many qualities of the current industry that need to change in order to deliver better outcomes for clients and create a great place for people to do meaningful work.
