Harding Financial Group takes a unique approach when compared to many other advisors today. We truly develop individual investment portfolios that are tailored to each client, according to their needs, stage of life cycle, risk tolerance, and investment preferences. We do not use “age-based” plans or pre-built model portfolios of any kind. Every investment in our client’s portfolios is hand-selected to support their stated objectives and is backed by our experienced financial planners through professional research and factual data.
Our belief is that above-average portfolio returns are achieved by squeezing the most out of every dollar invested and doing the gritty work that other advisors aren’t willing to do. For example, treasury bonds have not been the most attractive investment in modern history. But in the fourth quarter of 2022, we constructed treasury bond ladders that produced a more optimal risk-adjusted ROI when compared to introducing more stock into portfolios given the volatility of the market induced by increasingly hawkish Fed rate hiking cycles.
Our expertise spans much more than just investment management. Our financial planners strategize to help you keep the most of your money through tax planning, and take a long-term, multi-generational approach to ensure every decision made helps you grow your family legacy through the attainment of generational wealth.
With clear, consistent, and transparent communication, Harding Financial Group is committed to a Satisfaction Guarantee Policy for our advisory services. Our goal is unparalleled quality of services and if not, we return fees for your first 12 months of service.
