Why ETFs Matter to Our Clients

 

By incorporating ETFs into our investment strategy, we can align with modern portfolio theory, aiming to enhance risk-adjusted returns while giving clients the ability to stay agile in ever-changing markets.

 

We’re proud to announce that Nautical Star Financial Group and our principal, Lance Peters, have been recognized on ETF.com’s Leaders: Top Advisors & Firms list — highlighting 50 of the most forward-thinking Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) firms in the nation.

This honor reflects our team’s commitment to delivering thoughtful, strategic, and tax-efficient investment guidance — particularly in the complex and fast-evolving world of exchange-traded funds (ETFs). To be included among ETF.com’s Top 50 RIA Firms is a testament to the strength of our approach and the trust of our clients.

ETFs are central to the way we build portfolios. As Lance explains in the video, “ETFs have two main benefits to our clients: First, they provide flexible, tax-efficient options — especially valuable for clients in high-tax states. Second, ETFs are often more cost-effective than mutual funds while still offering broad diversification and liquidity.”

 

If you have questions about how ETFs might affect your portfolio, give us a call or schedule a meeting. I’m always happy to be a resource for you. 

 
 

How the Top 50 Are Chosen

 

Every firm on ETF.com’s Leaders list submitted a formal application and was reviewed by the site’s editorial team. Selection criteria included a significant use of ETFs in client portfolios and a demonstrated commitment to innovation, transparency, and long-term client value.

We’re honored to be recognized alongside so many respected firms. Thank you to ETF.com, our dedicated team, and, most importantly, our clients for making this milestone possible.
