Ferguson-Johnson Wealth Management has been providing independent, fee-only financial planning and wealth management services to the Washington, D.C. area since 1978. We believe our independence from financial institutions and insurance companies is key in providing objective advice to our clients.
Our wealth managers and financial planners operate under the fiduciary standard, meaning that we provide objective advice about your financial situation and always put your interests above our own. Our goal is to help our clients plan wisely, so they can live fully.
There is an abundance of financial planning and investment firms in the D.C. area, but many of them use a cookie-cutter approach in their portfolio management style. That doesn’t cut it at Ferguson-Johnson Wealth Management.
Whether you work on Capitol Hill, for a local university, or for a professional services company downtown, we’ll use the little time you have in your busy schedule to help you expertly craft a plan for your financial future.

About the Fiduciary Standard for Financial Planning
As busy as you are, you probably don’t have time to do extensive research on financial planning firms and why hiring a fiduciary advisor is important. The good news is that your searching stops here. At the most basic level, a fiduciary is a trustee. In the world of financial planning and wealth management, the fiduciary standard demands that financial advisors act in their clients’ best interest. Financial decisions on behalf of the client are always made with careful analysis and comprehensive information.
Most people don’t know that the typical D.C. broker is held only to the suitability standard, which simply requires the broker to make “suitable” recommendations, regardless of whether that recommendation is in the client’s absolute best interests. You can rest easy knowing our team members at Ferguson-Johnson Wealth Management will always operate under the fiduciary standard.
