ACT Advisers has managed my money for a couple years as created a sound long term financial plan. The results have been great. They advised me on strategies to save on taxes and modeled the financial impact of buying and selling real estate as we first bought a second home and are now building our dream home on Amelia Island. They have been superb in all respects. I highly recommend them.
Mr. Doug English, CFP of Act Advisors of Wealth Management, has been our financial advisor for the last 18 years, even before he moved to LPL. He had always provided sound advice, specifically designed for us, ensuring our financial and other life goals. We are immensely proud to learn that he has been included in LPL Financials’ Chairman’s Council, moving him to the top 1% of the LPL’s 21,000 strong nationwide network. His getting this honorable recognition demonstrates his expertise, hard work, and commitment to his clients to achieve their financial goals, that we have seen from day one till to date. His approach built with knowledge and trust is so unique and that has brought satisfaction to his clients including us. We have always felt that Doug and his group are with us during all circumstances. Being proud members of his leadership team, we are incredibly happy to say, “Our Hearty congratulations to Doug, and wish him the best”. Sincerely, Shaila n Vijay Shroff
We love working with ACT Advisors. Before we retired we signed up with ACT. We wanted validation that we were financially able to survive on our retirement saving and income. They provided us with reports and projections base on our portfolio that we could not only survive, but thrive in our retirement. That was 6 years ago and we have maintained our relationship ever since. We receive quarterly updates on our portfolio and where we are financially on our personal retirement roadmap. We also have the ability to call and ask for advice or to answer questions when we have the need. I highly recommend them!
We first heard Doug English when he was working at the SCFCU and gave a knowledgeable and understandable presentation about investing. When he began his own company my husband and I were his first clients. We have every confidence in his decisions, and in his team. We have been pleased with all the ACT personnel we have encountered and worked with over the years - not only do we have confidence in their knowledge but their responsiveness is always timely. They are also quite personable, as well as professional. We recommend them to others on a regular basis, and one of our family members has since moved to the company. They are a five star company for sure! I'd give them 10 if that was a choice!
