The Koeckert Anger Group

Why our team?

The Koeckert Anger Group is a premier wealth management team with over 100 years of collective experience managing assets for ultra-high net worth executives, entrepreneurs, multi-generational families, and charitable institutions throughout the United States and Europe. Recognizing that significant wealth is accompanied by distinctive opportunities and challenges, we strive to know each client on a personal level to better understand which strategies and services best serve that client.

Our mission is to simplify our clients’ lives by working closely with their tax, legal and other key advisors. We provide a foundation of integrity, coupled with extensive planning, risk analysis and research to produce actionable investment strategies toward achieving the client’s individual goals within their risk preferences. These strategies include portfolio construction and management, trust and estate planning, tax minimization, managing stock plans or partnering with our Investment Bank to take a company public, cash flow analysis and philanthropy.

We want our clients to feel the peace of mind that comes with having exceptional and caring partners in their corner when it comes to making financial decisions and achieving financial goals. Our team provides the highest level of customized service with a relentless pursuit of excellence.
