Garrett K. Norton, CIMA®
Owner, Financial Advisor
Subsequent to his undergraduate studies in Finance at Southeastern Louisiana University, Garrett completed a year-long program at the Yale School of Management and earned his CIMA® designation through the Investments and Wealth Institute.
The Certified Investment Management Analyst (CIMA®) designation is the peak international technical portfolio construction certification program designed for investment management analysts. At present, fewer than 3% of advisory professionals have earned this certification. The core competencies demonstrated by attaining the designation span advanced risk management, portfolio construction and hedging, behavioral finance, tax mitigation, performance measurement & attribution, and Investment Policy Statement (IPS) creation and review, with a focus on serving institutions and HNW families.
Garrett began his career at Merrill Lynch, and through the years built his practice around entrepreneurs and corporate retirees. This experience formed a client service model that specifically caters to the needs of these families.
Through a collaborative effort with his clients’ team of CPAs and attorneys, he strives to deliver outcomes that meet or exceed expectations.
Through founding East Pointe Wealth Advisors Inc. by going independent with LPL Financial, LLC, he has built a boutique advisory practice focused on gaining a deep understanding of his clients’ personal objectives and highlighting each of them within a comprehensive, individualized financial plan.
The impetus for transitioning his business from the corporate world to an independent practice stems from his goal to work with a select group of clients, but to serve that group to the highest degree.
Pairing his drive to help others pursue their financial goals and his dedication to meticulously performing due diligence, his mission is brought to life by helping you realize your goals starting the very moment you take the first step.
