INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY
Invest With Confidence
Our investment philosophy begins by interviewing clients to identify their investment profile, values, and insurance needs. Our discovery process includes, but is not limited to, investments, financial situation and needs, tax status, investment objectives, investment experience, investment time horizon, liquidity needs, risk tolerance, and current insurance information.
Next, based on the information collected, we make recommendations consistent with traditional values and our client's best interests.
High-quality companies that create value for others can also offer superior long-term risk-adjusted returns.
Research shows that investing with intention does not mean sacrificing returns. Options, futures, cryptocurrency, and penny stocks are not a part of our investment philosophy.
We go beyond recommending products and services that are suitable. We are bound by the law as fiduciaries to act ethically and responsibly to manage assets for the benefit of our clients rather than for our profit.
We consider it a privilege and a joy to be trusted with such a vital part of our clients' lives.
WE ARE INDEPENDENT
Impartial Financial Advice
Your Best Interest
We do not accept compensation based on investment product sales. Operating fee-only allows us to reduce conflicts of interest and provide more balanced and comprehensive advice. Fee-only investment advisors have fewer inherent conflicts of interest and generally offer more in-depth advice and services.
Why is independence important?
In a profession based on objective advice, true independence offers many choices to benefit you, the client. Your choice of an independent financial professional is the first step in getting unbiased recommendations and impartial guidance based directly on your goals and needs.
An independent professional is much different from a captive advisor who may work for firms that are conglomerates, such as commercial banks, investment banks, or insurance companies.
An independent financial professional is not an investment or financial services firm employee - they are an independent business owner. They are free to structure their business to best serve their clients.
What is a Registered Investment Advisor?
Just as you can choose your financial professional, the financial professional selects a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) firm to run their investment and advisory business through. Generally, an independent RIA does not underwrite securities, have proprietary funds, create research, or engage in investment banking.
An independent RIA allows financial professionals to offer non-proprietary products through various companies, such as mutual funds, ETFs, or insurance products. The RIA generally provides services to financial professionals, including processing investment business, marketing assistance, practice management, and education. Also, an RIA holds responsibility for regulatory compliance and adherence to securities laws designed to protect the investing public.
We chose to run our investment business through the independent Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) Inspire Advisors.
When we decided to operate independently for all the reasons above, we chose to be a part of the Inspire Advisors team because they are steadfast about glorifying God in all areas of their business and personal lives. They offer the broadest range of investment strategies that align with our values.
Inspire Advisors is one of the country's few 100% Biblically Responsible Investing (BRI) firms. This focus allows them to research and develop various investment strategies to fit our client's varying goals and objectives.
Joining together faith and finances brings peace beyond the fear, uncertainty, and doubt that the rest of the world endures.

OUR STORY
How We Got Here
PURPOSE
In 1972, after returning home from Vietnam, David's father, Dave Eck, Sr., learned his uncle had sold him an over-priced whole life insurance policy, which would leave his wife and family destitute should something happen to him. Realizing he and countless others were being similarly exploited, his passion became helping them avoid the same mistake.
EDUCATE
Under the tutelage of a fellow Army officer, Dave was licensed and started a lifelong campaign to teach families how money works. Over the years, Art Williams, Larry Burkett, Dave Ramsey, and others have popularized those same practical principles.
"I believe that through knowledge and discipline, financial peace is possible for all of us." - Dave Ramsey.
CULTURE
Today, half a century later, David Eck and the Oakstreet Financial team continue the tradition of easy-to-understand financial solutions designed to help clients make educated decisions about their financial goals.
We're here for you. Contact us to learn if our services are a good fit for you or have questions.
