About Us

Our History

More than 15 years ago, while working for large Wall Street investment firms, Stuart Murray envisioned a different type of financial management firm. A company without the conflicts of interest that come from investment banking departments, sales quotas and the need to sell proprietary products. An independent firm with experienced, expert advisors focused solely on putting clients’ interest first and foremost. In 2009, Stuart opened that firm: Strategic Investment Chico.

Our Process

We help you see the big picture to pursue long-term financial confidence.

  • We sit down to identify your needs and objectives
  • We analyze and evaluate your financial situation to create a customized financial plan
  • We present the plan and, once approved, we invest and actively manage the assets
  • With an ever-changing economy, we continually monitor and supervise your investments to address your growth and income needs
  • We provide 24/7 client access for portfolio tracking
  • We routinely work with clients’ attorneys and CPAs to supplement and coordinate estate, retirement and business planning
