It’s only when exceptional partnership meets insightful wealth management that the possibilities you imagine can come true.

What Services Do We Provide?
Smart, Sophisticated and Tailored
Approaching investing with a conscientious, explicit and judicious use of current best evidence can be a relief. This is why we manage portfolios via a highly disciplined approach called Evidence Based Investing (EBI). EBI seeks to filter through noise, information, hype and emotion in order to make reasoned investment decisions void of as much Investor Behavior Penalty as possible.
MoreWe’ve pioneered the discipline of Strength Based Wealth Management® (SBWM). SBWM is a comprehensive approach to building and maintaining high levels of financial strength, agility, flexibility and endurance. Our color-coded Wealth Optimization Dashboard™, the centerpiece of our patented system, provides sophisticated and unsophisticated clients with a great intuitive understanding of strengths and weaknesses.
MoreWe've helped many people prepare for, transition to and keep their finances strong and healthy during retirement. We have developed many concepts, tools and methodologies to make the most of each of these phases. Since retirement is really about the freedom of time, money, relationship and purpose, our work here folds in seamlessly with our portfolio management and wealth management services.
MoreHow Does Janiczek® Differ From the Others?
Janiczek® Wealth Management
Fiduciary
Fiduciary
Legally bound to do what is in your best interest 100% of the time.
Fee-only
Fee-only
We simply charge an investment management fee based upon the size of your account – so we do better when you do better - and charge flat, pre-defined and agreed upon financial planning and management fees when you need and want any additional specialized services.
Deep Relationship
Deep Relationship
We have crafted unique ways to keep as much of the complexity behind the scenes and provide you with a variety of “perspective advantages” and check-in “experiences” designed to keep you clear, confident, focused and on-track.
Proprietary Dashboards & Analysis
Proprietary Dashboards & Analysis
We’ve gone the extra mile to organize and make sense out of your financial situation so we can advise you in the most important and meaningful ways. One look at our proprietary dashboards and analysis and you will intuitively see the difference over all others.
Well Recognized & Awarded
Well Recognized & Awarded
We’ve been named among the top, best and most exclusive wealth advisors in the nation multiple times*. From being named on top lists*, to being awarded a Gold Medal for Best Business/Finance Book of the Year**, to being awarded a patent for our Systems and Methods for Optimizing Wealth innovation, to be authors of numerous books, guides, tools and processes, our position as a thought leaders is well documented.
Some Money Managers
Not a Fiduciary 100% of the Time
Not a Fiduciary 100% of the Time
Not legally bound to do what is in your best interest 100% of the time.
Not Fee-only
Not Fee-only
Don’t be fooled by slide-of-hands and words. ”Fee-based” for instance, means fees and the possibility of commissions. Undisclosed arrangements can mean other entities they or their employer owns can receive additional compensation when they sell/recommend their affiliated company products. All this means bias and you’d have to constantly maintain a buyer-beware stance (not what you want with an advisor). If their business card or website says “Securities Offered by…” this is a warning sign that another relationship exists that you should be concerned about.
“Dually Licensed” Sales Rep
“Dually Licensed” Sales Rep
Means they are licensed to receive commissions as a broker/registered representative and may also be registered as a registered investment advisor to charge fees for planning. Problem is, part-time fiduciary, part-time salesperson and you may never know when they change hats.
Shallow Relationship
Shallow Relationship
Some people who call themselves advisors may in fact be an annuity salesperson, insurance agent or stockbroker with a narrow focus that is not designed to help you master money or tailor you balance sheet or portfolio around your broader needs. This can cause you to miss addressing important needs, weaknesses or vulnerabilities. If the extent of their interview is to find out how much you have available to put into their product, use great caution and consult a comprehensive advisor before acting on any proposal or pitch no-matter how good it sounds.
Complexity & Confusion
Complexity & Confusion
Beware of planning processes, analysis and reports and investment portfolios and vehicles that are so complex you are tempted to relent and just say “yes” and hope and pray you will be fine and do well. We think a “false sense” of security or insecurity is harmful to those working with advisors who have not gone the extra mile to provide clarity, simplicity and precise direction.
Too Small or Too Big
Too Small or Too Big
General offerings, by either “small guys” or “giants” have their limitations. Small guys, to us, are small independent advisors with small shops that lack the horsepower (systems, staff/team, technology, tools, cash flow freedom (to constantly innovate), unique experience and business model sustainability to offer a viable long-term solution the high and ultra-high net worth investors we serve want and need. Giants, to us, are large institutions and bureaucracies that may have some desirable scale and advantages we want to utilize in our mix of portfolios and services (we often use giants like Schwab, Vanguard, Blackrock, JP Morgan, Dimensional, etc. within our solution and portfolios***) but at the point of contact/relationship are too big, in our opinion, to offer a unique specialized experience tailored to a niche with unique tools and touch points like ours.
