Bob has more than 30 years of experience in the financial services industry. He began his financial career with Prudential Insurance, where he gained valuable knowledge and experience that allows him to help clients make sure that their various insurance policies are structured properly to protect their assets. While in that role, he was introduced to the investment side of the financial services industry and quickly learned that this is where his passion lies. After a few years helping clients manage their investment portfolio, the desire to help clients beyond their investments led him to complete the educational and experience requirements to earn the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ designation in 1998. Bob had a passion for the financial markets, and enjoyed the relationships he had developed with his clients, but his disdain for the culture of Wall Street led him to join an independent, fee-only financial planning and investment management firm in 2000. He spent the next four years managing client portfolios and helping them to develop long-term comprehensive financial plans. A desire to be even more independent when helping clients led him to start Rall Capital Management in September of 2004. While most advisory firms are built to cater to the ultra-high-net-worth client, Bob built Rall Capital Management to cater to an underserved segment of the market, known as the “mass-affluent.” Individuals and families of more modest means have less room for error when planning their financial futures and managing their investment portfolios. This is the group that Bob has focused on serving. Bob is a member of the Financial Planning Association (FPA®) and the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA®). He was a contributing writer for the Journal of Financial Planning and served on the Editorial Advisory Board for several years. He is also a recognized leader in the retirement planning field. He helped launch the FPA’s Retirement Planning Knowledge Circle and served as its host for several years. Bob graduated cum laude from Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. But having grown up in Columbus, he is an ardent fan of The Ohio State Buckeyes. He also enjoys working out with his wife at their CrossFit gym, history, and working on his golf game. One of the things he is proudest of is having built a small, independent and successful firm that allows him to work with his family as they help other families achieve their financial goals.
