A Connecticut based independent investment advisory firm built on innovation, fiduciary responsibility and the real world application of research.

WealthShape LLC provides comprehensive and objective financial planning to help clients organize, grow and protect their assets through life’s transitions. As a fee-only, fiduciary, and independent financial advisor, Timothy Baker is never paid a commission of any kind, and has a legal obligation to provide unbiased and trustworthy financial advice.
Timothy Baker, CFP® is the founder and CEO of WealthShape, an independent wealth management firm dedicated to fiduciary advice and evidence-based investment management.
He spent over a decade developing a new client investment experience to specifically address the major problems facing today's financial services industry.
Financial planning should be agile and ongoing.
Portfolio management should be based on empirical evidence.
Services should be responsibly delivered as a fiduciary.
Throughout his career, he’s held positions as an advisor, consultant, portfolio manager, and vice president for institutional money management firms with billions of dollars in assets under management. These experiences led to a new way of thinking about personal finance based on a combination of three critical elements: digital age financial planning, low-cost factor-based investment management and fiduciary advice delivered by CFP® professionals.
