Savant Expands Chicago Footprint through Partnership with D3 Financial Counselors
D3 Financial Counselors is Savant’s fourth Chicagoland merger since 2014
Savant Capital Management, a nationally-recognized, fee-only wealth management firm headquartered in Rockford, Illinois, and one of the nation’s largest independent registered investment advisory (RIA) firms, today announced it has joined forces with Chicago-based D3 Financial Counselors, a $290 million RIA.
“Our fiduciary standards, business philosophies, and team-orientated approach are well-aligned with Savant’s, making for an excellent match for the two firms and our clients,” said Donald Duncan, founder of D3 Financial Counselors. “The partnership allows us to offer more comprehensive financial planning services to our clients, while continuing to do what we do best – helping to build ideal financial futures for our clients, team, and the communities we serve.”
Savant and D3 Financial Counselors made the deal official at the end of September. The D3 Financial Counselors team will continue to serve clients at its current locations in downtown Chicago, Downers Grove, Illinois, and Santa Fe, New Mexico.
