About Christopher Stakley, CFP^®, MBA, AIF^®

Steffes Financial, Ltd. is a boutique wealth management firm specializing in investment advisory, retirement planning, IRA rollovers, estate planning, and 401(k) Plans.

We are an independent, privately owned firm. We are not controlled by a large insurance company, wire-house, brokerage firm or multi-state financial firm. Our investment recommendations are not dictated by back-office employees of a large organization who never meet with nor truly understands the needs of their firm's clients.

As a fee-based firm, our focus is keeping our fees low, providing our clients with custom designed portfolios of high quality, low cost, no-load mutual funds and exchange traded funds through our preferred Custodians TD Ameritrade Institutional and/or Charles Schwab Institutional.

We hate annuities. If you already have a high cost (hidden commission) annuity, we will provide you with information on the available low cost, no commission, no surrender, fee-based annuity alternatives. As most investors know, high fees have a significantly negative impact on long-term net returns.

Our core long-term investment philosophy is to buy and hold quality investments through the majority of the business cycle using our FIN-DEFCON System. Portfolios are automatically adjusted as we detect economic trends that have preceded past recessions and recoveries. To get a feel for our FIN-DEFCON System, see our latest video webcast on the Steffes Financial website, Economic Update tab.
