Our Perspective

Plancorp started with a unique philosophy: Always put your clients’ interests ahead of your own, and you’ll build a successful business.

That was in 1983, but the sentiment still drives every decision we make. After 35 years of helping individuals, families and business owners plan for financial independence, our commitment to serving as financial life advocates is stronger than ever.

Unlike a broker-dealer that must constantly sell products to earn commissions, Plancorp is an investment advisor—we don’t sell products at all. Our only allegiance is to our clients.

We sit down with every client to discuss his or her vision for the future. Then, we use our financial planning process to turn that vision into actionable goals. Along the way, we provide education on various techniques and tools, including the investment portfolio. We base our recommendations on academic, Nobel-prize winning research, trusting in the power of the market to help us capture optimal returns.

  • Centre for Fiduciary Excellence (CEFEX)
    Plancorp has earned the Centre for Fiduciary Excellence (CEFEX) Investment Advisor certification.

    The independent CEFEX Investment Advisor certification demonstrates adherence to a best-practice standard.

    CEFEX advisory firms adhere to the Global Fiduciary Standard of Excellence. This means they act in the best interest of investors. This is in contrast with a firm that lacks a fiduciary process. The fiduciary standard offers a consistency of interpretation and implementation, which facilitates the transfer of knowledge between the advisor, clients, vendors and regulators.

    The objective is simple: to protect investors.
