Many Years Of Experience Of Our Team, Will Help You Quickly And Effectively Solve Your Problem

Founder Fruth Investment Management

Achieving and maintaining a healthy financial picture is an ongoing process. We focus on building strong long-term relationships with you, adapting your portfolio as your financial circumstances and investment objectives evolve.

Our investment approach is simple: For stock exposure, we invest primarily in individual stocks rather than mutual funds or ETFs, which incur additional expenses (or sometimes sales loads in the case of mutual funds). This means that you own shares in companies directly rather than shares in a mutual fund or ETF.

Our turnover is low, as we look for stocks with long-term price appreciation potential and average and/or growing dividends rather than those we can trade for a quick profit. For current income, we use a combination of bonds and money market funds in addition to dividend paying stocks.
