What Are Ruggie Rules?

3DBookThe Ruggie Rules are the rules I live by professionally and insist my team live by as well. They are not just part of our firm’s culture. They are part of our lives.

Whether you use our services or not, we want you to be able to benefit from the Ruggie Rules. Use them as a basis of comparison before you select an advisor. If you’re considering making a change from your current advisor, use them to develop a checklist or to frame the questions you want answered. I won’t deny that these rules place the way we do business in a good light. Once you understand what’s behind them, we think you will agree that they make companies that adhere to them the types of firms you WANT to do business with.

Ruggie Rules advocate on behalf of investors. In the case of those nearing or entering retirement, they don’t just address growing and preserving your wealth, they look at growing and preserving your quality of life and peace-of-mind throughout your golden years.

To Your Continued Success!
Thomas Ruggie

Ruggie Wealth Founder Debuts Second Book: “Ruggie Rules”

tom“Ruggie Rules,” the second book by Ruggie Wealth Management Founder and President Thomas Ruggie, ChFC®, CFP®, shares important guideposts for planning for a secure financial future, whether you’re retiring “some day,” nearing retirement or already retired. It lays out 25 rules to help you feel more confident in choosing the right financial advisor to help you make financial decisions that really matter.

“This book details why I believe it matters that you are intentional in picking an unbiased financial advisor who has a fiduciary responsibility to put your interests ahead of his or her own, addresses why I feel only 15% of investors should handle their own investments, underscores my opinion of the importance of a well-thought-out strategic financial plan created specifically for you, shines a light on how advisors are compensated and why that matters to you, and then ties all of these to a groundbreaking approach to financial planning that is all about taking action,” said Ruggie. Copies of the book, along with a free consultation, are available upon request by contacting [email protected] or calling 352.343.2700, or may be purchased on Amazon.

3DBook“Our four-step Ruggie WealthCareSM approach to retirement explores where you are now, where you want to be in the future and gives you a roadmap for getting there,” said Ruggie, who in 2020 was honored as one of Barron’s Top 1200 Advisors, a recognition he earned for the eighth time, and as one of the Forbes/Shook Research Best-in-State Wealth Advisors, a recognition he has won the past two years.

“Our WealthCare process looks at what you are trying to accomplish, what you have to work with, when it might make sense to make adjustments, and helps measure and report your progress. Everyone deserves the peace of mind that comes with having a good financial plan. You don’t want to outlive your money.

“Ruggie Rules” are not just a part of our corporate culture. They are the rules we live by every day. They are the guideposts that help us help put you on the right track to setting and keeping your financial goals, so you can have the financial peace of mind you deserve.”
