For Investors
Investing with Intention.
Because your wealth is deeply personal, your strategy should be too.
We believe your financial plan should be as unique as your aspirations. Whether you’re building generational wealth, planning for retirement, or navigating a major life transition, we’re here to understand your story and help you achieve what matters most.
What to Expect
Advice That’s Built Around You
We know that choosing a wealth advisor is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. Here’s what you can expect when you become a Summit Global Private Wealth client.
Discovery That Goes Deeper
Your first conversations aren’t about investments—they’re about understanding your unique situation, goals, and concerns. We take time to learn about your family, career, retirement dreams, philanthropic interests, and what keeps you up at night financially.
A Customized Wealth Strategy
Based on your story, we’ll develop a comprehensive plan integrating investment strategy, tax efficiency, retirement income planning, estate considerations, and risk management. Every recommendation is tailored to support your specific life objectives.
Ongoing Partnership
Financial planning isn’t a one-time event—it’s a journey. We’ll meet regularly (typically quarterly or semi-annually) to review your progress, adjust for life changes, and ensure you stay on track toward your goals.
Access When You Need It
Major life events don’t happen on a schedule. Whether you’re facing a job change, family transition, market volatility, or inheritance, your advisor is available for guidance when you need it most.
Why Relationships Matter
The “Why” Behind Your Wealth
Why does wealth matter to you?
Many financial firms focus on products, performance metrics, and market predictions. We start with a different question.
Retirement Security
Do you want confidence that you’ll never run out of money?
Family Legacy
Are you building wealth to pass to the next generation?
Life Transitions
Are you navigating divorce, business sale, or career change?
Business Growth
Are you funding expansion or preparing for succession?
Philanthropic Impact
Do you want your wealth to make a difference in causes you care about?
Goals Over Gimmicks
We don’t chase the latest investment fads or promise unrealistic returns. Instead, we focus on strategies proven to work over decades, customized to align with your specific timeline, risk tolerance, and objectives.
People Over Products
Every investment decision is viewed through the lens of your personal goals. We’ll never recommend a strategy just because it’s profitable for us—everything must serve your best interests first.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Investment Philosophy, Fees, and Performance Transparency
What are your minimum investment requirements?
While there are no minimums, our typical investor has over $300,000 in investable assets, ranging to over $10 million for Private Client services. We focus on investors who value personalized guidance and institutional-grade investment management.
How is your investment philosophy different?
We use our Managed Risk Approach, which focuses on protecting capital while pursuing opportunity. Unlike firms that chase returns, we prioritize downside protection and consistent performance through data-driven tools, tactical allocation, and disciplined rebalancing.
What are your fees?
Our fee structure is transparent and typically ranges from 0.75% to 1.25% annually, depending on portfolio size and complexity. We believe in aligning our interests with yours. So, when your portfolio grows, we succeed together. All fees are clearly disclosed before you invest.
How can I track my portfolio performance?
You’ll have 24/7 online access to your portfolio performance, holdings, and statements. We provide detailed quarterly reports showing performance against benchmarks, progress toward your goals, and any strategy adjustments. Your advisor will review these with you regularly.
Do you work with other professionals like CPAs and attorneys?
Absolutely. We collaborate with your existing professional team including CPAs, attorneys, and family offices to provide integrated wealth planning. We believe the best financial plans involve coordination across all aspects of your financial life.
What’s your track record?
We’re proud of our industry-recognized performance, including five-time IBD Mutual Fund Excellence Awards (2020-2023, 2025), Newsweek America’s Top Financial Advisory Firms for 2025, and PSN Top Guns designation. More importantly, we measure success by whether our clients achieve their personal financial goals. Awards and recognitions are based on independent evaluations using criteria such as investment performance, firm growth, adviser expertise, and breadth of services. The issuing organization, date, and period covered are shown with each award. No compensation was provided to receive any recognition, though SGI may pay licensing fees to reference them in marketing. Such accolades are not indicative of future performance or the quality of advisory services.
How often will I meet with my advisor?
Meeting frequency depends on your needs and preferences. Most clients meet quarterly or semi-annually for formal reviews, with additional contact as needed for life changes, market events, or questions. We’re always available when you need guidance.
Do you work with clients outside of Utah?
Yes, of course. Our growing group of advisors serve clients across the United States, with concentrations in Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and California. We can work with qualified investors nationwide.
