we will help you find a PATH TO YOUR FINANCIAL SUCCESS!


We work with a limited number of clients, which means low advisor to client ratio, deeper relationships, custom financial plans, actual tax planning, custom portfolios, custom risk management, and better results. If your goals are achievable, we will help you find a way.


There are many financial advisors to choose from. Are we the right wealth advisor for you?

Goran,
I have enjoyed our time with you: You communicate very well; your response times have been good, and the information you provide has always been helpful. I trust you, and feel that you have our best interests at heart. I am glad to be with you during these uncertain times.....Doug

As a small business owner I must have someone who understands financial planning and investing who I can trust with my money and my time. I seriously cannot imagine going to someone other than Goran. I've had many negative experiences with CPA''s, attorneys, and other professionals who promise but do not deliver. Goran delivers and he does it in a way that feels holistic.

When looking for a fiduciary to help me with my finances I interviewed several candidates. Goran went above and beyond the others and my expectations. In several meetings he has created a comprehensive financial plan for my family, answered my questions and provides ongoing support. I highly recommend Independent Investment Advisors to help you achieve your financial goals.

In rare form for me, I actually did a ton of research before hiring a financial advisor. It was important to me to find an independent fiduciary; a firm that can invest in any financial product, not just ones under an umbrella of products provided by a parent entity. I also wanted a fixed or capped fee; not a percentage of assets under management with no cap. Some of these firms charge insane, and often hidden fees, while being limited in what they can invest in. I'm so happy with Independent Investment Advisors! As a bonus, I really enjoy Goran's personality and sense of humor. He's incredibly thorough and I was surprised to find out how many ways this service is benefitting us; so much more than just investing. But make no mistake about it: Goran is a shrewd and sharp investor. Wise way beyond his years; level-headed, catering to whatever our needs are and we are grateful.

My financial situation does not require a financial planner right now. If I need one in the future, I will find one at this company. I appreciate that I was given time to express my concerns and then receive some advice and recommendations.

Goran is patient and really gets to understand his clients wants/needs (no one shoe fits all). It really shows that it is more than a job to him. He takes personal pride and great responsibility in managing his portfolios. He takes great care to identify risks and point out the gaps, which is the hallmark of a great advisor. He tells you want you need to hear not what you want to hear. Very organized, good use of technology to interact and securely share information. He also goes step by step. Managing someone’s money/assets is absolute trust and transparency. Goran is both. I highly recommend.

Reviews reflect individual experiences and opinions and should not be construed as a guarantee of future performance or client satisfaction. Client Reviews: All client reviews represent individuals who have engaged our services.

Passionate

The founder’s love for financial markets and passion for investing is the foundation of the company. What started as a family office is now a boutique wealth management practice for like-minded clients. Integrity and complete transparency are at the forefront of everything.

Fiduciary

Clients’ interests come first. Period!

Compatible

A relationship with your wealth advisor is very personal. As such, it can only be effective if values, thinking, and approach to building wealth are genuinely compatible. Get in touch and let’s discuss if we can work together!

How We Work

Our fee structure is transparent and straightforward, and we only invest either directly into underlying assets or low-cost Exchange Traded Funds. We don’t earn commissions, rebates, or incentives of any kind. There are no conflicts of interest.

We use the best-of-breed technology providers and are free to pick any asset globally, including derivatives, which we use to generate income or provide volatility protection.

We construct our portfolios from scratch for every client. We tailor the risk/reward profile to our client’s needs and personality. We review industry research and market internals every single day to keep a pulse on what is going on.

How Others Work

Many Investment Advisors are also broker-dealers earning commissions, incentives, and rebates on your investments. Some are associated with large wire-houses and may earn sales commissions, especially on investments such as Mutual Funds.

Many wire-house Investment Advisors have a much smaller universe of accessible investments. The parent company picks and chooses which assets are available on their platform, and derivatives are generally not an option.

Many Investment Advisors use model portfolios built for them by their parent company or by their investment partners.
