Our Story
An independent fiduciary, built around the people we serve.
For more than 25 years, IPS has grown alongside our clients — adding new expertise, expanding what we do, and always holding the same commitment to our clients
Investors Portfolio Services was founded in 2001 with a simple but powerful belief — that every client deserves honest, independent advice with their best interests at the center of every decision. For over two decades, Frank and the IPS team have remained focused on one thing above all else: the well-being of the people they serve.
What sets IPS apart isn't just what we do — it's how and why we do it. As a fee-only, independent fiduciary firm, we don't earn commissions, sell products, or answer to a parent company. We answer to our clients. That structure means every recommendation is made for one reason: because we believe it's right for you. The advice we give is the advice we'd give ourselves.
The way we serve clients has evolved and will continue to evolve. What started as financial planning and investment management now reaches across many areas of work — from retirement planning and tax strategy to real estate, equity compensation, and concentrated stock strategies. As our clients' lives have grown more complex, our capabilities have grown with them. The intent hasn't changed: meet each client where they are, with the right expertise and the same straightforward commitment that started it all more than 25 years ago.
