Who is Davis Financial?

Davis Financial is a financial services firm based in West Haven, UT.  Among many things, we sponsor the only non-commissioned 403b for k-12 educators in the state.

Why Should I Talk To You?
Our core belief is that money is a magnifier. We like to work with like-minded individuals, interested in growing their wealth & magnifying the good around them.  Our mission is to help all clients reach accredited investor status, through both income & net worth.

We are transparent & fun! We also believe investments should be low cost, commission-free & liquid. Because we don’t charge commissions we can offer high quality investments without the traditional expenses you may already be paying. We believe that you shouldn’t have to purchase a product to get quality advice.

What Are My Investment & Planning Choices?

Our clients can choose to custody their investments with Fidelity, TD Ameritrade or Charles Schwab. With very few restrictions – we have broad investment platforms ranging from traditional equities to alternative assets such as REITS & MLPs. Do you want to hold real estate or other assets inside a 401k, IRA or Roth? We can do that too.* We offer a no-cost consultation where we can quickly:

  • Estimate your retirement benefits & income;
  • Provide a detailed analysis of your current portfolio;
  • Estimate your current expenses & fees; and
  • Provide you with a cost-savings analysis should you qualify to work with our firm.

*Non-traditional assets held in self-directed retirement accounts are subject to a wide variety of restrictions and regulations. Consult your tax advisor for more details.

We seek to help all clients reach accredited investor status.  We offer 4 different planning services which require at least a 3-month commitment. Contact us for our brochure.

How Often Will We Talk?
Financial planning clients meet virtually or in-office on a quarterly basis. Asset-management clients meet at least every 6 months. Should your situation require more attention – we also offer quarterly or monthly reviews. New clients will generally have up to 7 appointments in the first 12 months.
Why Do You use Fidelity’s 403b Platform?
  1. No commissions. EVER.
  2. 190+ mutual funds.
  3. Low cost. The Fidelity platform is similar in cost structure to the URS retirement plans.
  4. Liquidity & transparency. Our clients benefit from being able to access their funds without any penalty from us or Fidelity. Most 403b plans are expensive & riddled with hidden charges & surrender penalties. Mutual funds are sold by prospectus only. Investors should consider objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the fund carefully before investing. The fund prospectus contains this and other important information. Investors should read the prospectus carefully before investing. For a copy of the prospectus contact your financial advisor

We provide advisory management services for accounts over $75,000. However, you can still participate with Fidelity if you don’t meet the minimums.
