Strategence Capital, January's Outstanding Member of the Month
"The Wells County Chamber of Commerce proudly announces Strategence Capital as the January Member of the Month, recognizing the firm for its outstanding community involvement and exceptional customer service. Strategence Capital is located at 1127 North Main Street, Bluffton.
The esteemed Ambassadors committee carefully selected Strategence Capital for this honor, highlighting the company’s commitment to strong values, intellectual integrity, and diligence. The impact of Strategence Capital resonates with its mission to educate, assist, and advise clients on their financial journeys. With four locations in Fort Wayne, Bluffton, Van Wert (Ohio), and Morris (Minnesota), this independent investment firm strives to implement the best financial strategies, alleviating anxieties and simplifying the decision-making process.
Reflecting on the past year, Jordan Arnold remarked, “2023 was a transformative year for our business. We welcomed long-term intern Kaden Bussel as a full-time Trader/Paraplanner in our office. We also switched Registered Investment Advisers and custodians, which, together enable us to expand our investment offerings and to align with partners that more closely align with our values.”
