INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT IN EDMOND, OK
Actively managing your investment portfolio using tactical asset allocation and value investing principles
About Us
Within the investment advisory industry, it is sometimes said that there are two types of advisers: an asset gatherer and an asset manager. Asset gatherers sell stuff and move on to the next sale. Their primary focus is on signing new clients and putting them into a basket of mutual funds. Asset gathers often only meet with clients annually. On the other side are the asset managers. Asset managers primarily focus on managing investments. While every adviser in this business needs new clients, the difference is in the client service and the attention your investments receive after the initial onboarding. Integrated Planning Strategies is definitely an asset manager.
We are in this business to help people with their money, and we take an active role every day in doing just that.
Integrated Planning Strategies believes most people do not want to be sold a product, but instead want someone to closely monitor their investments and to help them understand and guide them through their other financial affairs. We do not sell things, we give advice and manage your wealth. We manage money for people and advise them on the financial questions life presents. We do this so that our clients can live a more informed, less stressed, and more relaxing life. You can read more about how we can work for you in the Our Services section of this website.
By law, a Series 65 licensed fiduciary investment adviser must act in your best interest and put the client’s interests ahead of the advisor’s interests. As Series 65 registered investment advisors, we are held to a fiduciary standard of care. Broker advisors are not held to the same fiduciary standard of care, and some advisors have a loophole in that they are dually registered as Series 65 advisers and Series 63 brokers. We have no such loopholes and far fewer conflicts. Our advice to you will always be fiduciary advice, and we put that in writing.
Relative to other advisors, our management fee is on the lower end of the scale. Using a tiered fee structure, we reduce our fee percentage as the assets we manage for you increase. With our fiduciary duty in mind, this is the right thing to do.
Integrated Planning Strategies owns its own registered investment advisory. We think this helps us to serve clients better because it allows us to not only control what we can do in financial planner in oklahoma city, but it allows us to have fewer conflicts of interest. We can customize our services easier and serve our clients better.

One key difference between us and other advisors is our propensity to find high quality stocks to put to work in your portfolio. Relative to holding mutual funds, we like to use stocks because it allows us an opportunity to buy high quality stocks when they are trading at temporarily depressed prices. The price you pay to buy a stock will greatly affect your return. So buying at the right price instead of buying the market can make a big difference in your return. We also eschew funds because they add an additional expense to the portfolio management process.
