Why Aptus?
“Aptus was a client of mine when I was a sell-side trader, and I instantly wanted to work with them. It’s rare to find such a quality group of humans all working together to help manage the downside for investors and retirees. It’s the noblest version of money management I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing and working for in my 20 years in the business.”
