Summary
We strive to build and maintain wealth for our clients with superior performance given returns commensurate with risks.
We are compensated exclusively by fees paid by our clients, based on the total assets in the client accounts. In essence, the only way in which we get paid more is when the investment portfolios of our clients increase.
Each investment portfolio is created specifically to meet the client objectives. Almost every one of our portfolios is different. While using many of the same securities across the portfolios, amounts and concentrations in each position will vary from client to client to meet their performance and risk objectives. Our competitors, on the other hand, will choose products and portfolio managers where clients are lumped together into common “look alike” portfolios.
We work in the best interest of our clients in a fiduciary capacity. Unlike Adams Financial Concepts, many of our competitors receive a significant portion of their compensation from the products they recommend. Many times there are hidden fees, transaction costs, soft dollar compensation that the client never sees. In that capacity our competitors’ advisors are required to work in their firm’s best interest, not the client’s.

Business Profile
01/2005-Present: President and Principal at Adams Financial Concepts in Seattle
President and Principal
My prescient instincts and desire to “do it my way”, led me to develop his own portfolio philosophy and strategies. Earlier training as a mathematician enable me to interpret portfolio dynamics in “game theory” terms. I also draw on my background having begun my professional life with eleven years in the aluminum industry, including one and a half years in France. I started as a management trainee and worked up the corporate ladder to spend five years as plant superintendent managing several hundred people. I have owned a number of businesses.
