Our “Client First” commitment means that what is important to you – is equally important to us.
We frequently say our clients’ interests come first. This is so much more than a catchy slogan or cliché; it is the lifeblood that flows through the core of all our relationships.
You come first – whether developing a portfolio uniquely designed to meet your goals, trying to get the most out of your 401(k) plan or personal investments, or trying to fund your children’s or grandchildren’s education – we listen, we understand and we develop strategies that put you first.
The result is a long-term dependable relationship built on trust and confidence. For more than 40 years, our experienced team of professional advisors has made a positive difference in the lives of our clients.
As a client, we believe your interests come first.
How we put our client first
We believe in our clients as individuals, treating them as equals and always putting them first. We believe you have ideas of your own, a sense of where you want to go, and not only want to be listened to, but understood.
As our client, you’ll have a lead advisor as well as the support of a full team. It enables you to benefit from the full breadth of our team’s knowledge and experience, and the confidence of knowing there will always be someone available to serve you. The depth of our personnel and their lengthy tenures at our firm say a lot about the stability and consistency of our group and our ongoing commitment to you.
Our relationship with you is based on Integrity & Professional Ethics
We take great pride in our reputation as the advisor you can trust – proudly earned by cultivating loyal personal relationships by each of our dedicated team members. Our top priority is not just earning your trust, but maintaining it. It is not unusual for our clients to become close personal friends.
Our team of professionals holds many important industry designations, including CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP) designation, Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA®) designation, and Certified Investment Management Analyst® (CIMA), as well as Certified Public Accountant (CPA), and Master of Business Administration (MBA) to offer advice and guidance to work towards your financial goals.
The strength of our independence
PPG is an Independent Registered Investment Advisory firm, with complete freedom to act only in the best interests of the clients we serve.
