A Word from Alden:
“Everyone wants to make money, but what motivates me – in this business and life in general – can be summed up in one word: people. I’m what you call “neighborly.” I truly enjoy being around people and working with them, whether it’s helping a client develop a financial plan, or staying active in the traditions and communities that make our city so unique. My philosophy as a financial advisor – which perfectly aligns with the team culture and ethos at Faubourg – revolves around a few simple, but very important ideas: Develop a plan. Be sensible and consistent. Don’t chase what doesn’t exist. And, stick to your plan. I am proud that I have been able to retain clients since back in the 1980’s. That tells me this simple philosophy works.”
