Biography
With a passion for retirement and income planning, Phillip Shaw entered the financial planning industry after meeting people who lacked access to well-informed and unbiased advice. He saw people making decisions that would adversely affect their financial future and vowed to become a resource to help others. He takes pride in taking the time to understand his clients’ goals and concerns, creating tailored solutions that will help them be on track for the financial future they dream of, and ensuring they understand how they will get there.
Phillip is a fiduciary advisor who holds an Illinois life & health insurance license, has passed his Series 7, 65 and 66 licenses and is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®). Phillip received the 2022 Five Star Wealth Manager award.
As an Investment Advisor Representative (IAR) and a fiduciary, he is required by law to act in his clients’ best interest, a task he doesn’t take lightly. He earned a degree in business management and organizational leadership, along with a minor in economics from Illinois State University
