Madison Wealth Advisors has multiple, long-term strategic alliances to support.
Buckingham Strategic Partners
Madison Wealth Advisors is a member of Buckingham Strategic Partners. Buckingham Strategic Partners is a community of independent wealth management firms located throughout the United States — united in belief and in practice that there is a better, more effective, and more resilient way for investors and their families to safeguard their financial futures and realize their dreams:
- We believe in delivering unbiased, transparent, evidence-based advice.
- We believe every investor is unique — requiring custom, comprehensive wealth management solutions.
- We believe that doing what’s best and doing what’s right should be one and the same.
Our principles and approach stand in sharp contrast to many in the financial services industry who prefer to play a rigged Wall Street game, often putting their own interests ahead of their clients’. That is not how it works with Buckingham Strategic Partners. We believe that by putting our clients’ interests first, we achieve more together.
Custodians
We are members of Buckingham Strategic Partners and together we represent more than $32 billion in assets, and over time we have created deep-rooted relationships with many of the world’s top custodians. These companies include:
- Charles Schwab Advisor Services
- Fidelity Institutional Wealth Services
- TD Ameritrade Institutional
- Orion Advisor Technology
