Auxan's Foundation

Aligned with Your Success Auxan Capital was founded in 2004 with a desire to disrupt the status quo. At that time, most investors were reliant on brokers who earned commissions regardless of portfolio performance. We rejected that model. Instead, we established a firm based on management fees, ensuring that our success is tied directly to the success of our clients. We aren't salespeople; we are experts on financial matters, dedicated to providing the same caliber of management usually reserved for large institutional accounts.

Generational Expertise We believe that great firms are built on great people. This philosophy began early on with the mentorship of Derek Schmidly. After earning his MBA in Finance, Derek managed the firm for several years, bridging the gap while our founder served at AGCU.

Today, that tradition of mentorship continues. We have recently welcomed Jace Henry to the firm, allowing us to boast three generations of advisors working together. This structure allows us to back one another up and ensures that Auxan will be here to serve your family for decades to come.

Investment Philosophy Our team, including advisors Dwight Faye and Tim Baker, works together to protect and grow accounts. heavily influenced by the methodologies of Warren Buffett, we developed the Concentrated Growth Strategy. This approach allows our clients to take advantage of individual stock ownership, mirroring the way we manage our own personal capital.

More Than Money Our lives revolve around finances, but we are careful not to let money become the master. To keep us grounded and focused on service, Auxan is committed to making significant charitable donations from our proceeds. We believe our life's work should make a tangible difference in our local community and around the world.

There is great joy in seeing our clients achieve their goals, and we are honored to be your partners in that journey.

Becoming a Client

1. Schedule Your Intro Call

We start with a quick conversation to understand what brought you here, your goals, pain points, and what you want out of a financial partner.
This is not a sales pitch. It is a fit check on both sides.

2. Get Matched With the Right Advisor

After the intro call, we pair you with the advisor who is best suited to your situation, personality, and planning needs. Unless you already have one in mind!
You will meet them to walk through your current financial picture and explore where we can add value.

3. Build Your Plan

If we mutually decide it is a good fit, we begin gathering the documents and data needed to build your customized strategy.
Your plan is crafted around your investments, retirement objectives, cash flow, risk needs, and long term goals.

4. Open and Fund Your Accounts

Once the plan is finalized, we help you open the appropriate Schwab accounts and guide you through transfers or rollovers.
You will always know exactly what is happening and why.

5. Launch Your Strategy

Your plan goes live.
You will receive a clear breakdown of how your accounts are invested, what to expect in the first 90 days, and how we will stay connected.
