I’m Michael Evans, Founder, and CEO of Cogent Strategic Wealth. In my past career, I was a successful trader. In that career, I was fortunate enough to be in an industry where I was able to generate wealth. In fact, most of the people I worked with had opportunities to accumulate wealth. Unfortunately, many of the members of that community were not very good at preserving that wealth. This was a huge problem.
People work hard to accumulate their wealth, and I wanted to help these high-achieving professionals figure out how to preserve their wealth with better investing-processes. I was able to do this for my family, and I wanted to share this knowledge and help other people.
