From the President – 2nd Quarter 2017

I was recently asked to describe the reasons behind Krilogy’s continued growth over the last several years. As I contemplated my response, I noted that while our geographic footprint, team of advisors, and assets under management have increased, it’s Krilogy’s commitment to our “client first, firm second” philosophy that has propelled our growth. I’m humbled by the feedback that I…

From the President – February 2017

From the President – November 2016

This year, we witnessed a presidential election which, in the minds of many, was unlike any we’d ever seen. There was very passionate debate, as well as a great deal of fear surrounding both candidates. Many parents, myself included, experienced their children becoming aware of the political process for the first time, and asking pointed questions about a variety of…

The final rule was passed earlier this month, and it requires advisors to serve as a fiduciary for clients, which means they’re required to put their clients’ interests first. It…

Volatility. It’s the hot topic of the day, and many analysts are predicting that it will continue through 2016. While the very idea of volatility may strike fear in the minds of investors, we’ve found that there’s a way to derail that fear – a plan.

From the President – November 2015

Every successful effort starts with a good, strong relationship with a partner who supports you and works hard to help you accomplish great things. These types of relationships are something that we’re very proud of here at Krilogy, the strength of which I was reminded of while reviewing the results of a recent client survey. The primary theme in most…

Where Are You Going in Retirement?

Would you tell me, please, which way I aught to go from here? That depends a good deal on where you want to get to. I don’t much care where. Then it doesn’t matter which way you go. So long as I get somewhere. Oh you’re sure to do that, if you only walk long enough … -Exchange between Alice…

From the President – Special 2015 Edition Newsletter

A few years ago, Krilogy Team Lead Michael Brown approached me with a vision, and a goal for what he wanted to accomplish at Krilogy. That goal was to open a second Krilogy office in his hometown, St. Charles County, where his roots run deep and he works hard to serve the community through a number of leadership positions and…
