Investing may seem easy…until it isn’t
Let us help you navigate the investment environment.
Investing may seem easy…until it isn’t: too many choices, too much information, and too little time. You don’t have to go it alone. Let us help you navigate the investment environment. We will construct and manage an investment portfolio consistent with your goals and objectives to grow your savings at a reasonable rate of return without undue risk.
Eagle Financial is a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) Firm. We are advisors. The entirety of our client relationships are subject to a federal fiduciary duty, comprising duties of care and loyalty. (This is a higher standard of care than that for brokers and agents.)

HOW ARE WE DIFFERENT
We are absolute-return oriented – we employ strategies that emphasize absolute returns over relative returns. The goal behind absolute return investing is to generate positive returns regardless of the direction of the financial markets.
Greater Independence
Eagle Financial is an independent firm and, as such, is not subject to the influences of in-house research and products.
Alignment of Interests
Eagle Financial is compensated for advice, not transactions. Our compensation is based on a percentage of assets under management; therefore, our success is directly linked to that of our clients. By contrast, broker-dealers are compensated to sell financial products and can generally only offer advice that is incidental to the transaction.
Greater Freedom
Eagle Financial has access to a wide range of investments and institutional money managers, many of which are unavailable through broker-dealers.
Objectivity
Registered Investment Advisors (RIAs) are fiduciaries, meaning that they are legally required to act in the best interest of the client. *This is a higher standard of care than what’s required of broker-dealers.
