About

Peak American Investment Advisors offers discretionary portfolio management, financial planning, and educational workshops to individual clients, including high-net-worth individuals. The firm also operates a third‑party advisor recommendation program and sub‑advisory arrangements to place client assets with external managers when appropriate.

The firm builds custom portfolios based on each client’s objectives, risk tolerance, tax situation, and other suitability factors, using charting and fundamental analysis across equities, fixed income, ETFs, mutual funds, options and foreign securities. Portfolios are actively monitored and reviewed at least quarterly, and the firm may aggregate trades and use model managers through its sub‑advisors to implement strategies.

Notable features that distinguish the firm from many peers include its use of Estate Guru to refer clients to attorney‑provided estate documents and its offering of public educational workshops (some marketed through a nonprofit Social Security Education Center). Advisors are also licensed insurance agents with an affiliated insurance agency and the firm discloses that it may receive ongoing compensation from third‑party managers when clients are referred, providing related disclosure materials to clients.
