Edelman Financial Services LLC, the nationally acclaimed investment management firm headed by renowned financial advisor, author and talk show host Ric Edelman, announced the opening of its Miami area office at 18851 NE 29th Avenue, Suite 501, Aventura, FL 33180.

"Consumers have too few opportunities to get the independent, objective financial advice they need," said Ric Edelman, twice named the #1 independent financial advisor in the nation by Barron's(1). "We receive hundreds of phone calls and emails every week from people seeking financial advice and information, so we are opening more local offices to help them."

With offices in 13 states, Edelman Financial Services manages $7.8 billion for nearly 17,000 clients(2) across the country. While most investment firms serve only the wealthy, Edelman Financial Services is known for also catering to those who are not yet millionaires. "Although many of our clients have a high net worth," Edelman explained, "the vast majority of our clients are not in that exclusive realm. Our clients typically are middle class folks trying to pay for college for their kids while trying to secure their own retirement. It's an honor to serve them."
