  • XYPN Invest

    Investment Team | Bozeman, Montana

    We believe the investment process and your portfolio should be connected to and driven by the personal goals and values of your financial plan. It should be sophisticated, yet not complicated. We also believe in the power of expertise and providing my clients access to some of the best investment minds in the business.

    To that point, we have partnered with XYPN Invest and gained access to their Investment Committee to construct and continuously review our portfolios.
