I often get asked, “What do you do at Glen D. Smith & Associates?” With a smile, I answer, “Do you mean me, the team or the business?”
More than just one man
Born in California, I grew up in Guayaquil, Ecuador, where my parents are career missionaries. I’ve worked in the financial services industry for over 15 years and since day one, I’ve always believed in providing exceptional service to my clients. I’m not a salesperson and never will be, so I only recommend those products that I feel will improve a client’s portfolio. In 2017, I left a global financial services company and started my own business.
More than just a business

Being independent means that we are not tied to targets and have more time to provide a personalized service. We offer a complete turnkey solution for our clients’ financial needs. We tailor our proposals with the client’s unique situation and future goals in mind.
