When you partner with Buckingham, you instantly become part of a community of CFPs, CPAs, planners and like-minded advisors. This is an unparalleled opportunity to connect, problem solve and learn from professionals just like yourself.

Stand behind an investment philosophy

Gain confidence knowing our investing philosophy is based on nearly a century of data, Nobel prize winning analysis and research, plus insights from behavioral finance and leading academics—including Investment Committee members Dr. Meir Statman and Nobel Laureate Dr. Harry Markowitz.

"Our TAMP-like service helps give you more time in your day while providing more than just a solution to an investment problem.
