Biography


For over four decades, Fragasso Financial Advisors has been focused on providing sound asset management and financial planning for our clients, who range from high net worth individuals to retirement plan sponsors and nonprofit institutions. It is our responsibility to understand the unique needs and challenges of each and every one of our clients, while at the same time delivering our services through an attentive and professional client experience that is uniform across the firm. Our approach and how we are compensated are transparent from the beginning. We are primarily a fee-based investment manager providing holistic financial planning guidance and investment management that is free from proprietary products and the conflict of investment commissions. All of our employees are salaried professionals. We are an investment fiduciary to our clients. This means that the recommendations we make start and end with what is in the best interest of our clients. Clients can trust that the recommendations we provide are for their benefit, not a commission check. Our structure enables us to concentrate on what truly matters - helping clients pursue their financial goals.
