Sam Badgley Inc. operates as a registered investment advisor providing two primary services to individuals and families: selecting and monitoring third-party investment managers, and creating comprehensive financial plans. For investment management, Sam Badgley Inc. evaluates a client's goals, risk tolerance, and portfolio size, then recommends an independent third-party investment advisor (such as Efficient Advisors) in a co-advisor relationship. The third-party advisor handles day-to-day portfolio management, trading, and custody, while Sam Badgley Inc. serves as the client's primary financial advisor, conducting annual reviews and overseeing the relationship. For financial planning, Sam Badgley Inc. evaluates cash management, risk management, estate planning, tax issues, retirement planning, and educational funding, delivering a written financial plan. The firm is owned and operated solely by Samuel E. Badgley.
