Meaning Of Our Name

At Ausperity Private Wealth, we feel very fortunate to be doing what we love: guiding our clients and making an impact on their lives.

Our unique name, Ausperity, combines the words auspice and prosperity. Auspice refers to “giving guidance and support” while prosperity means “financial success” from the Latin for “good fortune, fortunate.”

Bound by fiduciary duty. Inspired by you.

Worried about the fee-first mentality that often dominates the financial industry? We understand these concerns, and as client-first wealth advisors, our fiduciary duty is a legal and ethical obligation that requires us to always act in your best interests. Basically, we prioritize your financial well-being above all else.

Your opinions matter here, and we’ll always take time to listen to your perspective. No decisions are reached until we’ve considered:

Your personal circumstances
Your risk tolerance
Your financial goals
Putting your interests first builds more than just successful investments. We’re in the business of building long-term relationships that transcend fiduciary duty and are founded on trust and integrity. It’s a higher standard of care that we take seriously, and we can’t wait to share it with you.
