Professional Approach

At George Wealth Management Group, we make the experience about you.   Often, when meeting with a new client they will say something along the lines of: “Just do what you would do for yourself.”  That might sound like a good strategy but my experience has benefited from what I believe is a better approach. You see we are most likely at different points or path in our life and may not have the same view on risk or time horizon. Instead, I prefer to get to know you so I can “step in your shoes” and understand your situation as much as possible.  This enables me to say: “Here is what I would do based on my knowledge and experience if I were you.”

But knowledge and experience are only two ingredients to be effective, the other is having access to the resources necessary to be able to craft a personalized game plan.  This is true whether it be for an individual, family, non-profit or company.  After spending 16-years with Morgan Stanley Smith Barney in Indianapolis, I chose to affiliate with LPL Financial in 2010 because LPL offers me independence and access to one of the broadest investment platforms available.  LPL Financial is the nation's largest independent broker-dealer. *

I invite you to reach out for a complimentary consultation so we can see whether it would be beneficial for us to begin working together.

Sincerely, 

J. David George

Senior Wealth Manager
