Vance graduated from the University of Maryland with a B.S. in Neurobiology & Neurophysiology. He began his career in financial services with Altegris Investments as Regional Director of Intermediary Relationships. He consulted leading private wealth management firms and financial advisors across the nation. Vance brings a unique perspective on wealth management as he’s seen the business from the inside. At Altegris, his clients were leading financial advisors at banks such as Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, and UBS; independent broker-dealers such as LPL, Ameriprise, and Raymond James; registered investment advisers; and family offices. This has allowed him the deep expertise in services and strategies that financial advisors offer – and, more importantly, the services and strategies they often don’t offer. Who you have serving you can make a big difference, particularly when it comes to complex planning strategies. After nearly a decade in his role with Altegris, Vance became a financial planner and founded Your Dedicated Fiduciary® with the desire to positively impact those he serves by filling in the gaps often left behind by other advisors.
