By GlobalData“After meeting with more than 25 firms, we kept coming back to David and Nik at Pure Portfolios. With their passion for delivering successful client outcomes in a transparent, honest, and straightforward manner, we knew we had found the right partners to best complement our approach and values.”
Commenting on the development, Pure Portfolios founder Nik Schuurmans and partner David Gewant added: “In Northwest Wealth Advisors, we found a firm that wasn’t satisfied with the status quo of high-cost/low-value, nor conflicted advice typically provided by large banks and brokerage firms.
“We share the same culture, values, and passion for doing the right thing for clients, and it is fantastic to be building a greater investment firm that truly puts client interests first. Merging with Northwest Wealth aligns well with our mission to be leading a paradigm shift in the industry to serve clients better.”
