The trust that’s so crucial to what we do for you is something we take very seriously. And our commitment to earning

it every day is ingrained in the culture we’ve created together.

The ideas behind this culture aren’t revolutionary or difficult to understand. They may even sound familiar:

• Clients come first

• Integrity is irreplaceable

• Quality is our measure of success

• The best financial advice is the result of expertise and teamwork

• How we succeed is as important as if we succeed

But what makes our culture different is that these aren’t just ideas to us. They’re beliefs we had in common before we

ever came here. They’re values that we live when we go home at night. They’re behaviors that nearly a century of

practice has demonstrated to best support our mission:

“To provide the best financial advice and service to our clients and be the best place

to work for our associates.”

The GRK Group

The GRK Group believes it is vital for investment decisions be made within the framework of a

clearly defined investment philosophy by using a highly disciplined and consistent investment

management process. Each client's return requirement, risk tolerance, and investment time horizon

are assessed in the planning process to determine the appropriate asset allocation and asset

selection. The team's primary objective is to minimize risk first, then to achieve a reasonable rate of

return within the given risk parameters.

While the people we serve often have similar financial goals, like funding a secure

retirement or their children’s college tuition, the best way to achieve them will vary from

specializations, including:

• Retirement distribution planning

• Planning for Social Security and pension payments

• Managing income tax

• Strategies for employee stock option

• Investment portfolio recommendations
