We are an investment firm with a singular focus: our clients.
St. Johns Investment Management Company, LLC serves individuals, families, business owners, foundations and endowments with a cohesive wealth management offering. For private clients, our process is targeted to transform personal financial success into enduring personal wealth, while also providing a high level of comfort and personal service. We work closely with each of our clients to develop wealth and investment management strategies that best serve their needs, goals, priorities and lifestyle.
As an independent investment advisor, we are not owned or operated by any bank, insurance company or other financial institution. Accordingly, we offer tailored advice and endeavor to work closely with each client’s third-party professional legal, tax and insurance advisors to integrate our investment advice into a broader wealth framework. St. Johns was founded on principles of independence, objectivity and transparency and we strive each day to embody these values.
Our goal is to build a strategy for a client's entire life, and perhaps, beyond.
We maintain a comprehensive perspective to build and preserve wealth, operating one business: investment management and research; no “in-house” banking, insurance, commissions, proprietary trading or brokerage. With this model we embody an objective investment process with proprietary asset management expertise, all the while keeping a clear focus on our clients.
Who we are
St. Johns is blessed to have a wonderful team of investment managers who endeavor to both accommodate and anticipate our clients needs.
