Financial Architects was founded in 1985 by a small team of professionals with a passion for predictable and peak performance, even if it meant doing things a little differently. Ours was a business built not on a desire to sell products, but on a genuine passion for planning prosperity. In 1989, firm co-founder, Ken Grace, began using a macro-economic planning process that allows our clients to measure the efficiency of every financial decision and put every financial planning tactic on trial. Today as the firm has grown to more than 20 professionals, and the suite of services offered has expanded and evolved, we have not veered from these guiding principles.
As a result of the work we do, our clients are empowered with a lifelong framework for making the most efficient and effective financial decisions. Our goal is to help them achieve maximum results while minimizing risks. Working closely with a Financial Architect, participants will experience interactive and engaging discussions designed to identify their current financial condition across three spectrums - protection, savings assets, and growth assets. In the introduction to The Financial Architecture Experience, economic concepts and principles are introduced to lay the ground work for future meetings and discussions.
You, the client, have always been the reason we exist. You have a capacity and potential for wealth building and retirement income and we exist to help you make progress towards that potential. As we celebrate the 35th anniversary of serving you, we wanted to have some fun with a historical perspective. So, in 1985, Turner Thompson and Ken Grace launched Financial Architects, Inc. Back in 1976 Ken entered the financial services business and Turner began the role as a mentor. As we reflect back on all these years, we realize what a great time it was to launch Financial Architects because there were a number of transitional events occurring, such as: Boomers were hitting their career and income stride and their families were blossoming, inflation was in great shape, interest rates were declining, and finally the Dow Jones Industrials delivered a 27% return which launched a 15 year run that ended in 1999 and averaged over 16%!
