Vision meets innovation
Edelman Financial Engines was founded with a core mission - to give everyone the opportunity to move their financial life forward. Our founders set the tone - Nobel Prize-winning economist Dr. William F. Sharpe gave individual investors access to sophisticated investment modeling tools that were previously available only to institutional investors, and Ric Edelman established his advisory firm with the belief that everyone should have a trusted financial advocate. Our planners carry that mission forward every day with every client.
Our leadership team
Bringing your financial vision to life - that's what drives our team of leaders. Our leadership team is composed of some of the brightest minds in the industry, with deep experience in financial services and fintech.
Proudly recognized by the financial industry
Awards are simply the result of our passion for helping our clients. As a fiduciary, we're dedicated to applying that passion with personal and objective financial planning and investment management services that put our clients and their best interests first, always.
