Doug English and everyone at ACT Advisors are simply the BEST!!! They are incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of the financial arena and investing. Doug has spent his entire career in this profession and it shows. I doubt there is anything that he doesn’t know. His team is personable, professional and super easy to work with. I feel so fortunate to have been referred to this amazing team. I am super happy to be their client and highly recommend them without reservation. These folks are the BEST…!!!
Doug and his team at ACT-Advisors has been our go to for financial planning as well as some “Life” planning. We have worked with Doug for over 17 years, and he has helped us grow our retirement savings to where we will never have to worry about money again. Doug has very high integrity. Act-Advisors does not churn your saving to make money on trades. While not all of our saving is managed by Doug and ACT-Advisors, they still help us manage it responsibly and help us make better decisions for all of our saving whether they earn money from it or not. We have a great “peace of mind” because even during the worst downturns in the past 17 years we have never been hit as hard as the Markets and been able to be confident that we are well protected by sound investments and not by costly products or gimmicks. We have personally recommended Doug and Act-Advisors to our friends and family, and they continue to be loyal members as well. Before we decided to invest with ACT-Advisors we interviewed other large service providers, but none understood us or listened like Doug. To this day Doug and his team know us personally and takes a real interest in what we are doing, how our family is doing and growing and helps us make good long-term decisions for them as well. We expect to continue to work with Doug and his team for many more years and we are looking forward to even a brighter tomorrow because of their help and support.
My wife and I have had the pleasure of working with Pat Latta and the whole ACT Advisors Team for years, and we cannot express enough how impressed we are with their professionalism and expertise. Pat took the time to truly understand our financial goals and aspirations, and then crafted a comprehensive plan tailored specifically to our needs. He patiently walked us through each step of the process, ensuring that we fully understood all of our options and felt comfortable with the decisions being made. What sets Pat apart is his genuine care for his clients’ financial, as well as personal, well-being. His proactive approach to financial planning helps us feel confident about our financial future and empowers us to make informed decisions. We highly recommend Pat and the entire ACT Advisors Team to anyone in need of expert financial guidance. Their dedication, integrity, and personalized service make them stand out when compared to other financial service providers we have worked with in the past. Thank you, Pat and Team, for your exceptional support and guidance!
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!

At ACT Advisors, our investment committee works to craft investment portfolios tailored to your unique circumstances. Whether it’s aligning with your financial objectives, risk tolerance, or existing investment mix. We have a keen focus on minimizing costs to help optimize returns. Our investment screening process is designed to reduce all expenses, including management fees, tax drag, and structural inefficiencies. These are just a few of the strategic approaches we implement in our carefully constructed wealth portfolios.
This investment strategy involves owning individual securities directly. It allows for custom tailored portfolios and can offer greater tax efficiency through tax-loss harvesting at the individual stock level.
This proactive investment strategy strategically sells underperforming assets in order to offset capital gains.
Our stock and bond rotation strategies involve shifting assets between different sectors based on market conditions and indicators.
