Expert Guidance for a Brighter Financial Future

Our Story

Building Your Future on the Foundation of Our Past

Soltis Advisors was founded on one principle: to provide advisory services to clients in a fiduciary capacity. Since our founding in 1993, we’ve continued to build on that foundation of doing what’s right for you, without the typical conflicts of interests found at other financial firms (e.g. brokerage commissions, fee sharing and financial product fees).

To create, build, and manage wealth so our clients are free to pursue life’s most important endeavors

In the fall of 1992, Lon Henderson was invited by his good friend, Hyrum Smith (founder of Franklin Covey) to manage the wealth generated by taking his company public. Hyrum invited Lon to leave his current employment with a renowned money management firm to become the “gatekeeper” of his family’s wealth.

Although intrigued and flattered by the offer, Lon wanted to do more than serve a single client. So he designed a firm based on a business model that was unique within the financial services industry, “fee-only”. Joined by Hal Anderson, the firm became a fiduciary to its clients which meant all investment advisory decisions would always be made in the best interests of its client. This remains the core principle of Soltis today.

The Soltis Investment Advisors, LLC logo is a green Möbius Strip sprayed with light.

A Möbius Strip is a surface with only one side and one edge. If you draw a continuous line starting anywhere on the surface, the line will extend along the entire surface and return to where it began. At Soltis, this represents two things. First there is only one side, our clients side, and we always do what is in the best interest of our clients. Second, travelling along the Möbius Strip represents a never ending journey, which reminds us that creating, building, and managing wealth is a long-term venture, requiring consistent execution over time. By developing enduring relationships with our clients, Soltis becomes a partner in accomplishing your life’s most important endeavors.

The color green represents stability, balance, growth, life, wealth, safety, vibrancy and harmony which are characteristics that we strive for our clients to achieve in their life. At Soltis, we understand wealth is a responsibility that, when managed well, brings great benefits not only to its bearer but also to those the bearer chooses to assist, creating a fertile garden of growth and abundance in a world full of discord and hardship.
