Clients We Serve

Shaffer Capital advises individuals and employer based-retirement plans. Our individual clients include successful, accomplished men and women who want to provide for an enjoyable retirement while addressing their other financial goals. We serve high-net-worth individuals and families concerned about preserving their legacies, as well as entrepreneurs and business owners seeking to maintain what they have built. We segment our individual clients into Emerging Wealth (Net Worth less than $1,500,000), High Net Worth (Net Worth greater than $1,500,000 but less than $25,000,000), and Ultra Affluent (Net Worth greater than $25,000,000). Our employer based-retirement plans currently include defined contribution plans (i.e. 401(k), profit sharing, etc.).

Individuals like these who have achieved, or are on their way to achieving significant wealth, understand the importance of knowledgeable, informed financial guidance. As professionals and executives in various fields, our clients recognize that:

• Planning is critical to building and preserving wealth,
• Financial risk is a fact of life and must be strategically addressed, and
• Managing wealth is a complex task that requires specialized knowledge and experience.

At the same time, our clients know that trust and confidence are essential to a successful relationship with a financial advisor. We believe they appreciate not only the personalized nature of our day-to-day service, but also the sophisticated financial strategies we offer and the careful attention we give to the all-important details of wealth management. They are aware that we are working in their best interests so that they can direct their attention to other priorities.
