Our Fiduciary Philosophy, as Expressed by Davis J. Rieman, Jr., CFP®, AIF®
Independent Fiduciary Guidance That Goes Beyond the Basics
At Risk Wealth Retirement Advisors, we believe true financial stewardship means exploring every viable option—not just the ones that are easy to package. As an independent fiduciary advisory team, we serve Retirement Plan Sponsors, Business Owners, Executives, Individuals, Non-Profit Institutions, and Trustees who expect more than generic advice. Our clients value thoughtful, expert-driven strategies tailored to their unique goals, risk tolerance, and life stage.
We don’t do cookie-cutter portfolios or one-size-fits-all recommendations. Every financial picture is different, which is why we take the time to understand your objectives, tax and income strategy, and comfort with risk—then build a plan that fits you, not the other way around.
We explore the full spectrum of investment options—from low-cost ETF portfolios and tax-managed strategies to alternative investments and protective solutions like insurance and annuities when appropriate. And unlike many large financial marketplaces where clients often deal with employees who may eventually leave or go independent, every advisor on our team holds ownership in the practice. That means you’re working with professionals who are personally invested in your long-term success and committed to building lasting relationships.
We’re fully licensed and qualified to provide personalized advice and implement the strategies we recommend. You’re not just getting ideas—you’re getting a team that can help you act on them.
Because we’re independent, we’re not tied to proprietary products or rigid models. We’re here to help you make informed decisions with clarity, flexibility, and confidence.
Fiduciary Excellence Means More Than a Fee
We reject the notion that fiduciary service is simply about charging an annual advisory fee for a one-size-fits-all portfolio. Instead, we:
• ✅ Customize every wealth and risk management strategy
• ✅ Offer access to diverse financial instruments, not just conventional investments
• ✅ Maintain independence from proprietary products or sales-driven incentives
• ✅ Hold the licensing and education required to advise across the full financial landscape
Every client is unique. That’s why we take the time to understand your risk tolerance, life stage, and financial objectives—then build a strategy that reflects your values and priorities. Our commitment is to transparency, flexibility, and empowerment—ensuring every client has the tools and guidance needed to make informed decisions.
Proven Experience Through Every Market Cycle
With roots dating back to 1987 and over 100 years of combined advisory experience, our team has guided clients through:
• 📉 Black Monday (1987) – The largest single-day market drop in history
• 📈 1990s Bull Market – A decade of sustained growth
• 🛑 2000–2002 Bear Market – A downturn shaped by global events
• 💥 2008–09 Financial Crisis – A seismic shift in investor confidence
• 🌐 COVID-19 Crash (2020) – A rapid correction with lasting impact
In today’s environment—marked by inflation, rising interest rates, and geopolitical uncertainty—strategic diversification and seasoned guidance are more essential than ever. We don’t take shortcuts. We take responsibility.
