Welcome!

Claremont Financial Group (CFG) specializes in personal financial planning, guidance, and fee-based asset management services. We will help you organize, simplify, and optimize your financial pursuits. The investment world, the tax world, the legal world, etc... is an interwoven and fairly complex realm that is constantly changing. Our guidance will save you time and spare you from potentially costly mistakes. We also provide an ongoing educational component that helps reduce our clients financial stress and fosters an increase in their investor confidence. The attainment and maintenance of your financial peace of mind is our primary concern.

CFG is a Registered Investment Advisor that assists individual investors, families, non-profits and corporations with personal financial planning and asset management services. We are a community-based business with all the capabilities of the major national firms. Clients can expect on-going personalized and attentive service coupled with unbiased and knowledgeable advice. CFG has been committed to a fiduciary standard of care since its inception in 1994.

Our clients derive many benefits from our personal financial planning process. Perhaps the most important benefit is that once financial goals are clearly identified and properly planned for, they are much more likely to be achieved. Our planning process identifies the various risks that can undermine the realization of personal goals. Once these risks are acknowledged and planned for, they can be effectively managed using a variety of proven techniques.
