We doubt you’ll argue with us that Fairfax is a great place to raise a family or start a business, but in case you need confirmation—did you know Forbes ranked Fairfax in the Top 25 Towns to Live Well in 2009? With Old Town Fairfax’s redevelopment over the last decade, the city’s great school system, and high number of sole proprietors, it’s no wonder people enjoy living here.
Whether you’re a business owner or a hard-working parent (or both!), we understand you have a lot to consider when crafting a financial plan. Between investing, saving for retirement, paying for your children’s education, and even paying for your employee’s retirement, there are many elements to juggle.
That’s where we come in. Our registered investment advisors strive to take the stress out of financial planning and wealth management and help you make the best decisions for you, your family, and your business.
CONTACT NOWAt the most basic level, a fiduciary is a trustee. In the world of financial planning and wealth management, the fiduciary standard demands that financial advisors act in their clients’ best interests and that financial decisions on behalf of the client are made with careful analysis and comprehensive information.
Most people don’t know that the typical broker is held only to the suitability standard, which simply requires the broker to make “suitable” recommendations, regardless of whether that recommendation is in the client’s absolute best interests. You can rest easy knowing our team members at Ferguson-Johnson Wealth Management will always operate under the fiduciary standard.
A personal financial plan can assist in making smart decisions about your money throughout every stage of your life. Whether you’re still in the early stages of your clients’ best interests, commuting to and from the city every day with a busy schedule, or you’re trying to plan for your children’s future, our financial planners will walk you through every step of the process from discovery to execution.
You might know a lot about financial planning, but it’s always best to get a second opinion from an expert who can look at the situation with an outsider’s perspective.

Many other financial planning and wealth management firms use a “one-size-fits-all” approach to investment management, offering essentially the same portfolio options to every client that walks through the door. At Ferguson Johnson Wealth Management, we know that each investor has a different level of experience, a different budget, and a different desired level of risk when they decide to invest.
A cookie-cutter approach simply doesn’t cut it. We get to know each client individually and tailor a portfolio to your needs.
We often make use of Dimensional Funds for our Fairfax investors because of Dimensional’s academically-focused approach. Dimensional structures investment strategies based on academic research rather than on speculation or commercial indexes, and their board members include some of the nation’s most distinguished and recognized academicians.
