There used to be a guy that worked down the street from our offices and he would often talk about “The Team, The Team, The Team.”  At Vintage our advisors work together to bring our varied expertise and experience to each of our client’s finances.  We won’t win any football games but we think we’ve built a winning team.

And we’re not the only ones!  Vintage was named to the Financial Times 300 ranking of the country’s top RIA firms, one of just seven firms from Michigan.  And Frank Moore, our founder and Chief Investment Officer, was the top ranked advisor from Washtenaw County on Forbes 2019 Best-in-State Wealth Advisors list.  He’s the only advisor from the county to make Barron’s Top 1,200 Financial Advisors ranking for each of the past three years.  See the listing and selection criteria of the publications on our disclosure page.
