Wealth Management Reimagined
At Ashton Thomas, we think differently about wealth management, challenging the status quo and constantly pushing for reinvention.
We believe success is not an entitlement. It has to be earned every day. We believe we are at our best when we are creating enduring relationships and personal connections, as well as providing insightful financial guidance.
The result? A life lived in greater alignment with your goals and dreams. This creates opportunity for more than you considered possible.
If it leads to you telling others about the Ashton Thomas story, then we consider that the highest compliment.

The Private Client Experience
We understand relationships are built, not transacted. When selecting a wealth management firm, you make choices that can impact your wealth and life today, and impact generations to come. We recognize that and understand the weight of your decision.
Your Wealth Blueprint
At a root level, financial planning is a response to fundamental human needs. At its apex, true financial planning can introduce you to fresh perspectives and ideas, redefining the vision of what your Ideal Financial Life could be like. The smallest details can lead to important discoveries. Being allowed to “color outside the lines” illuminates fresh thinking. Inspiration can turn into positive change. Your Wealth Blueprint is a dynamic plan that strives to anticipate, respond to, and adapt to changes in your life and the world around you.
Your Portfolio Blueprint
As with your Wealth Blueprint, no two Portfolio Blueprints are exactly alike. We employ the latest technology and critical thinking to provide you with focused solutions. Regular market updates, 24/7 access to your portfolio, and a platform which has been recognized as an industry leader1 ensure you stay connected to your money as it works for you.

Once we have a clear understanding of what you want your money to achieve, we help identify the trade-offs you are willing to make and the resources necessary to help you live your Ideal Financial Life.
From there, we create your Wealth Blueprint to align your priorities and offer a consolidated view of your financial life.
Financial planning software often produces lengthy, complex reports which are difficult to digest. We use proprietary outputs to summarize your plan in a few pages, making it easy for you to understand and implement your personal vision.
Our consistent and continuous process is all about you: your views on financial risk and reward, setting family goals, and creating a roadmap that points you toward success.
