Henry L. Becker, Jr., CFP®
President & Investment Strategist

Henry works to align each clients’ investing principles and values with their portfolio. He specializes in exchange-traded fund (ETF) and mutual fund investing and is well versed in the utilization and impact of investing in regards to tax, estate planning and retirement planning. In addition, Henry is also the editor of the ETFGPS.com blog that helps people navigate the world of ETF investing.

Simply stated, my role as an investment advisor is to make investment decisions that I believe are in the best interest of my clients. I retired from following the propaganda and misguidance of financial services companies that have failed their clients.

Henry has been quoted in the Baltimore Sun, Frederick News Post, The Gazette, and Smart Company Magazine. He is also very active in the Frederick, MD community where he is:

Although a native of Pittsburgh, he relocated to Maryland in 1999 and currently resides in the Frederick, MD area with his wife and three sons.

When not at work Henry can be found mountain biking, skiing or traveling with his family. He and his wife are one of a small number of people who have completed a round-the-world trip. From August 2000 to July 2001 the pair traveled to 23 countries as they circumnavigated the world in one trip.
