Callahan Financial Planning is committed to keeping your money and information safe.

We exist to provide a clear financial plan to our clients without pushing the need to open an account, purchase an investment, or buy a product. Registered Investment Advisors (RIA) are held to a higher standard than stockbrokers when it comes to putting investor's interests first and doing the right thing for their client's investments. Independent RIAs have a fiduciary duty to their clients, which means they must:

  • Act in the best interest of their client.

  • Identify & monitor illiquid securities.

  • Employ fair market valuation procedures where appropriate.

  • Observe procedures regarding the allocation of investment opportunities, including new issues and the aggregation of orders.

  • Have policies regarding affiliated broker-dealers and maintenance of brokerage accounts.

  • Disclose all conflicts of interest.

  • Have policies on use of brokerage commissions for research.

  • Have policies regarding directed brokerage, including step-out trades and payment for order flow.

  • Abide by a code of ethics.
