Longview Wealth named a top Twin Cities wealth manager

Dec. 31, 2008 - PRLog -- Minneapolis.  Longview Wealth Management, LLC was named by Mpls/St. Paul Magazine and Twin Cities Business Magazine as a “2009 Five-Star Wealth Manager”.  Less than 7% of the wealth managers in the Twin Cities were selected by these magazines and the results were just released in their January 2009 issues.

There is a movement among clients towards independent fee-only advisors and away from commission based stockbrokers.  More and more investors like the conflict-free relationships they can get with a fee-only registered investment advisor.   Longview Wealth Management provides this type of long-term solutions based relationship with their clients rather than the short-term product-driven relationship of traditional advisors.

There is also a significant market share shift going on away from mutual funds and towards exchange-traded funds (ETF’s) due to their lower costs and better tax efficiency.  There is now a wide variety of exchange-traded funds available for investors in virtually all asset classes including stocks, bonds of all types, international stocks and bonds, commodities, real estate, etc.  The exchange-traded fund business has grown tremendously over the past 5 years as more investors and advisors have been starting to use ETF’s in their portfolios.   Longview Wealth is one of the few investment advisors that use exchange-traded funds almost exclusively for its client portfolios.

“Our goal is to be the best wealth manager in the Midwest (not the biggest)”, said Keith Tufte, President of Longview Wealth Management.  “We are committed to providing the best independent, conflict-free investment advice for our clients.  Our ETF based portfolios are significantly more cost and tax efficient than other strategies which results in higher returns for our clients.”
