Our Client Focus

At the Pienkosz Financial Group of Wells Fargo Advisors our principles are grounded in a conviction that as financial advisors there is no greater privilege than working with our clients in helping manage their financial wellbeing and prosperity.

“If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail!”
– Benjamin Franklin

Concentrating completely on client needs, and as a key foundation of our investment philosophy, we leverage the entirety of Wells Fargo Advisors by employing the planning resources found throughout our firm.

Our goal in leveraging the entirety of the intellectual capital available to us is to ultimately help our clients identify and bridge any financial gaps that may prohibit them from securing what we refer to as financial completeness.

This comprehensive discovery not only becomes the cornerstone to a deep understanding of our clients’ current financial wellbeing it also helps us construct the roadway to helping them realize their financial aspirations.

Managing the Risk Paradigm

Given asset allocation cannot eliminate the possibility of fluctuating prices and uncertain returns, it goes without saying, investing involves risk.

But much like baseball, where fielders avoid making errors, or batters never wish to strike out – hitting copious singles and doubles, avoiding errors, while trying to elude a strike out, can go a long way to achieving long-term financial success.

We have learned that by employing proper construction characteristics in creating a broad based well-diversified asset allocation, along with tactically doing the simple things well, such as opportunely rebalancing one’s portfolio, can go a long way to achieving lasting goal-oriented financial success.

Our Approach to Investing
