Edelman Wealth Management Group was founded by Scott D. Edelman, who saw that people were not getting the advice they needed to feel secure in their financial future. Scott started his own firm in 1996 and focused on helping people feel that they could realize their lifestyle and financial goals. Edelman Wealth Management Group was created with the idea that clients were family, not investment accounts. Individual stories mattered more than collective wealth. Today the team provides personalized insurance and wealth management to clients around the nation.
