Miller/Russell & Associates, Inc.

Founded in 1991, Miller/Russell is one of the Southwest’s largest registered investment advisory & wealth management firms. They tailor solutions for precise needs. State-of-the-art technology tools, combined with solid analytics and process discipline, produce successful client strategies that stand the test of time. Implemented and managed by a team of experienced professionals, these value-added strategies have served hundreds of pension and 401k plans, foundations and endowments, and high net-worth individuals and families through capital market highs and lows.

Every investment program is customized. The process begins by spending a significant amount of time listening to their clients to fully understand their needs, goals, risk tolerance and other factors that could impact the development of the most appropriate approach for their investments. Once goals are set, projections are run. After analyzing risk and return, investment counselors build a customized portfolio, recommend specific investments, and put the recommendations into action.

A lot of investment firms stop there. What sets Miller/Russell apart is not only their expertise and diligence, but also the close, long-term relationships that they build and maintain with their clients. And, especially valued by their clients, is a commitment to accessibility with detailed reports delivered to clients, not once a year, but each and every quarter. In the complex world of investment and financial advice, Miller/Russell has held firm to its core principles and philosophies. Their clients have benefited as a result.
