Advisor web site
 
 

Welcome

Investing in today's challenging business climate can be rewarding especially if you are receiving objective and up to date advice.
 
As a Registered Investment Advisor, Dick Van Dyke is in a strategic position to look out for your best interest by recommending investments that offer lower expense ratios with no loads or commissions. Dick does not sell commission or load based brokerage products. He believes that it is difficult for brokers or advisors to be objective in helping the client choose what is best if the advisor or stockbroker is influenced by selling various financial products for a commission. Considering this, Dick gives investment advice and does financial planning on a fee basis. If you prefer, he can also help you manage your investments based on a management fee. In this way, Dick is compensated as you are achieving your goals.
 
Dick is also independently insurance licensed to represent income, estate and wealth transfer financial vehicles. However, he has no obligation to a particular insurance institution. He makes a disclosure when any of these institutions compensate him directly.
 
"Procrastination is your biggest enemy. Taking initial steps toward your goal can be the beginning of a financially rewarding future".  Smarter Investing Learn More
