My husband and I were one of Chris’ first clients straight out of college. Because of his expertise and honest concern for the finsncial security of my husband and I, he has helped us navigate through many very complicated transactions over the years. At all times he has served us in a timely manner, has given us outstanding advice, and is so very delightful with which to work. Now that my husband has passed away, I am finding myself totally comfortable and secure financially thanks to Chris’ advice over the many years we’ve worked with him. I have no reservations in recommending Chris’ expertise and the Fides group for financial planning and guidance.									

										My husband and I have been working with Chris and his team for the last few years. He came highly recommended by my parents, who had increased their wealth tremendously using his services. My dad passed a year ago and Chris has helped my mom navigate her finances as both a professional advisor and advocate. While my husband and I are not yet of retirement age, Chris has made it easy for us to forecast our future in both good times and bad, and provides solid advice for planning for both (and believe me, you need it). Using his guidance, we feel confident we will be ready to retire a couple of years early, something I look forward to every day. Chris's knowledge of the market and financial industry as a whole is unparalleled. He is forward-looking in his approach and sees the big picture. I trust him and FIDES to manage our investments in our best interest.									

										My husband and I began working with Chris Rand more than 20 years ago. He increased our wealth more than expected based on projection that I just found from 2005. I became a widow last year and Chris and his team have helped make the financial changes go so smoothly that I don't know what I would have done without his firm.									

										I came into a sum of money that required investment. A highly trusted friend with a lot of knowledge about such things recommended Chris Rand. I was new to investing and had many questions and initially required a bit of hand holding. Chris and Fides Wealth could not have been more patient, attentive, responsive, and professional. And I could not be more pleased with the results of their investments.									

										I couldn't help but be intrigued when—as a dear friend recommended Christopher Rand to me—he also mentioned that Chris had a Ph.D. in financial planning. As my wife's and my relationship with Chris began and grew, that savviness showed itself in wonderfully helpful and clarifying ways. Not many months had passed when I further learned that he was also a university-level instructor of financial planning courses—and that, too, had come out as Chris had patiently explained to us the ins and outs of cultivating our own financial resources, here early in our retirement. — We soon got acquainted with Chris's oh so helpful team of professionals, which only deepened our appreciation for the entire office's labors on our behalf. They are ridiculously quick to respond to our questions, our disbursement requests, our neophyte jitters about the markets. We are ever so grateful for the expertise of Chris and his team, and feel secure about their professional, personable caretaking of our investments.									

										It was not until my husband and I met with Chris Rand and his group at FIDES that I finally felt retirement was achievable. The entire staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Chris and Rommel were always available to answer my many questions. They were great at explaining everything to us in a way that was understandable and reassuring. We are now heading into the next chapter of life confident we will have sufficient finances to live confortably....thanks to Chris!									

										Chris Rand and his staff of ficuciaries are absolutely amazing to work with. They are so welcoming, conversant and incredibly knowledgeable in the field of financial investments and retirement planning. Communication, through in person meetings, video conferencing or texting has always been excellent. My wife and I are so pleased with the long term retirement program they have devised for us that we highly recommend their financial expertise in planning your portfolio. I feel so comfortable under their financial guidance that I can't imagine being with any other firm! It's because of their financial acumen that we can both retire comfortably without any future monetary concerns.									

										Chris Rand has been our financial planner since 2009. To say he provides comprehensive and strategic financial planning is an understatement. With Chris's expert guidance, my husband and I were able to navigate pre-retirement planning, estate planning, and made our insurance selection with the assistance of an independent insurance planner recommended by Chris. I was unsure about when to start collecting Social Security and Chris laid it all out in a way that made sense. The RMD deadlines for withdrawal at age 73 seemed daunting, but Chris did it in January to avoid steep penalties and spikes in our taxable income. In closing, Chris Rand is like a close family member who listens, cares, and gives great financial advice. We trust him implicitly with managing our funds and making all of our financial decisions. We called Chris this week with a question and ended up talking about our "bucket list." The Northern Lights were added to my bucket list this morning, knowing with Chris's financial expertise, we have the savings to do everything on our list.									

										I have been a client of Chris Rand since 2009. Choosing Chris and his team has been the best financial decision I have ever made. Chris’s sound advice and money management has guided me through wealth building and into a comfortable retirement. Even in retirement he proactively manages my accounts to meet the current tax regulations. I have complete confidence in Chris and his team. I trust his advice 100% and know I am in the best of hands. My only regret here is that I am limited to only giving Chris 5 stars.
