About Me

If you are going to work with an Investment Advisor who is a fiduciary, you need to know if you trust them in addition to feeling comfortable with them and their team. This biography on Ronald Lang will provide you with his background, investment methodology, his thoughts on the industry and advisory business. You will gain insight into his mindset on investing on fundamentals and risk management, which are the cornerstones of long-term investing success.

Ron Lang grew up in the business. His father Allen started in the brokerage side of the business in the late 1960’s. While in high school over three summer vacations Ron worked on the Options floor of the Philadelphia Stock Exchange. It was an unbelievable experience and an environment that would get you excited about being in any part of the investment world.

When Ron got older, Allen tried to recruit and convince him to get into the business. He loved the technology sector, worked and then owned a software and business consulting business designing CRM software for businesses. He never lost his passion for the investment business and even though he was helping people with financial planning, the financial and housing crisis in 2008 got him interested in getting involved in finance and investments. Many of his friends' portfolios were set up where their risk tolerance and portfolio allocation were not in-line with their goals, objectives and timeline. They kept asking him to manage their investments. Without a Securities License, that could not happen. In 2011, Ron started Atlas Wealth Management, LLC, and began to manage portfolios and continue financial planning for those friends and referrals then continued to grow the business.

Dealing with life events and specifically tragedy is never easy and it is an extremely difficult conversation to have with anyone that has gone through it. Ron lost 17 people in 7 years from 2013 – 2020. This included his sister in 2014 and son in 2016. Again, it is never easy to help or talk to people about their situations, let alone deal with more than one yourself in a short period of time. So, when he says he has been there done, that, he can truly say that he has dealt with hardship and tragedy.

Ron created the business motto for Atlas, “We are Crusaders Against Wall Street Greed”. While many advisors do right by their clients, he has seen and heard a lot of legal, but in his opinion, not so ethical way the advisory business allows hidden fees to be taken from clients. Many advisors, especially those that are both an Investment Advisor/Broker and are not transparent about how “total fees” work. Meaning, some advisors charge a quarterly management fee, but they and/or their Broker/Dealer gets a backend trailer commission on many Mutual Funds and the Advisor may get a portion of that too. Also, some Mutual Fund companies may provide an additional bonus at the end of the year for the total assets they have with that Investment House. Is this legal, yes. But is it right? Why don’t Clients and Investors know more about this? Again, transparency is paramount to a successful long-term relationship. Also, those additional fees reduce and degrade long-term portfolio performance.

Understanding your goals, objectives and risk tolerance are the tenets of basic portfolio construction. Ron is a very positive person, especially about the future, but he is a self-proclaim “Cockeyed Optimist” when it comes to economic and market cycles and properly investing in and around them. He provides you with facts and data that he consumes from hours of research weekly in order to make sure his clientele are on the right path. Prospective clients may not be used to an Advisor giving them the truth, as raw and presentably harsh at times, but nothing is being glossed over just to get someone’s business. Current clientele stay long-term because they know they are going to receive the information they need unfiltered and unvarnished.

Lastly, Ron prides himself and the organization on “Communication”. People change Advisors for several reasons. One of the top reasons is communication and either receiving none, very little and when they have a question, the response time back to them is unacceptable. Ron and his team have been accused of being “over communicators”. We would rather be accused of being that, than getting feedback “we never hear from that guy”.

We hope this quick Bio is helpful to getting to know the person who will be leading your team to help you through the ups and downs of the market and steer your portfolio through the murky waters of investing.

I am very satisfied with the financial services of Ron Lang and his firm. They communicate clearly with me, develop a plan and execute on the strategy. In my opinion, I'm a real person and not just another account number in a selected group portfolio base on my age. While they are a personalized financial fiduciary, they have all the resources available to them that the larger firms utilize. My returns are right on target and provide me with the assurance that a financial professional is watching out for me. I would highly recommend Ron and his team.

We recently moved our money to Ron when we realized the large amount of fees being paid to our then current advisors. They were not the obvious fees but the ones you don't see readily on your statement. They are the additional fees attached to the ETF's and Mutual funds that the other advisor said was 'normal in all investing.' We met Ron, spoke with him and learned these don't have to 'be normal' in investment accounts. They are there to make the firm extra money that you aren't aware of and eat away at your hard earned retirement savings. The moving of our accounts was painless and our portfolios look much better now. Ron guided us all the way, answered all our questions and has been easy to connect with during this whole process. He is a great communicator and educator with his clients. I would highly recommend Ron Lang to everyone.

Found Ron on Dave Ramsay's site and really liked his approach and passion to finance. We feel much more at peace knowing him and his team is working hard and keeping an eye on our investments. He is very personable and available to answer our questions and concerns when we have them. So far we are happy with our choice to go with Atlas Wealth and looking forward to our investments grow.

We’ve done better with Ron in a year than we did with the big name franchise we were with for over 10 years. Ron is knowledgeable and trustworthy, patiently educates us regarding our choices as often as it takes, and is highly responsive.
