Interview Highlights
Q. Can you share the inspiration behind the establishment of INVST? What motivated the founders to break away from traditional financial institutions and create an independent advisory firm?
The inspiration for establishing INVST stemmed from my deep-seated desire to redefine wealth management and financial planning. I envisioned helping individuals achieve financial stability, independence, and the freedom to live life on their terms. Dissatisfied with the limitations of traditional financial institutions, I, as one of the country's most successful wealth advisors, felt constrained. Despite my expertise, I couldn't advise people in the way I believed was best. This realization fueled my desire for personal financial freedom and empowered others to do the same. In June 2016, Lloyd and I took a leap of faith, founding INVST (initially known as JarredBunch Consulting).
