Verdence is a private wealth advisory and multi-family office firm headquartered in Hunt Valley, Maryland, with offices in Northern Virginia. We are committed to our role as Fiduciary Advisors — guided by the principle that advice should be transparent, customized, and given without bias. Verdence has earned a strong reputation in the industry, and we strive to provide expert financial advice and an enhanced client experience for you and your family.
Managing more than $3 billion in client assets,
Verdence provides personalized service to a diverse client base, including individuals, families, foundations, endowments, trusts and corporate retirement plans.
We proudly serve high-net-worth clients regionally in the greater Washington, D.C. area and throughout the country with our planning-based, fee-only structure.
Independence is one of our greatest strengths. Our role as an Independent Fiduciary is at the center of what we do. We are bound to a fiduciary standard that requires us to put our client’s interests above our own. We provide transparency on the fees you pay for advisory services. This product-agnostic approach allows us to remain focused on your financial objectives, values, the legacies you wish to fulfill, and the financial solutions we believe are best suited for you. We do not charge or receive commissions for recommending investments, so you never have to question whether our advice is influenced by product incentives. We work for you and only you. Period. Your best interest is our only concern.
CORE VALUES
Wealth is a notion that is extremely personal. It is about building upon your life’s work to provide for yourself and more importantly, your family.
“At Verdence, we understand this and emphasize that investing one’s assets should be a thoughtful and deliberate process. It should include a comprehensive goals analysis, a consideration of resources, an appropriate time horizon and an assessment of risk tolerance.”
All of these factors are discovered and/or identified during the planning phase of the process. With Financial Planning being the foundation of our practice, many of our team members have earned the CFP® designation. This ensures that professionals who understand the importance of maintaining a sensible path to achieving one’s goals guide our clients.
Once the plan is in place, we then tailor a customized investment portfolio that considers time horizon, investment objectives, risk tolerance, etc.
At Verdence, we aim to responsibly and reliably oversee your assets so that you will have the freedom and independence to pursue the things that you love.
At Verdence, we seek to exceed your expectations of what wealth management should be. We focus on building and preserving what you value so you can enjoy your lifestyle, take care of your family and reach your goals for your financial future.
OUR MISSION is to exceed the best interests of our clients.
We advise individuals, families, and business owners in the daily activities and significant events that advance their financial lives. We are passionately independent in the representation of our clients. It is our people, ideas, and collaborative environment that seek to ensure the preservation and growth of our clients’ financial assets and their family heritage.
