Our Perspective

As we grow older and have more and more life experience, we realize that this life, this gift, is truly brief and fleeting. At BluHawk Wealth Management our desire is to help you have the success you and your family desire for your financial life, for those about whom you care most, so that the legacy of your time reflects your character, desires, dreams, and wise resource management.

The BluHawk Story

Raised in the Midwest, BluHawk Wealth founder Greg Bennett earned his undergraduate degree as a “Hawkeye” at the University of Iowa. He later donned the “Duke Blue” and achieved an MBA at Duke University in the mid-nineties. Combining his practical work ethic and formal education/training with nearly three decades of experience in financial management, Greg formed BluHawk Wealth Management, LLC in June of 2013.

Our mission is to provide exceptional wealth management guidance with kind, compassionate, highly competent, and client-focused advice and services. We strive to offer excellence in financial wisdom and individually crafted solutions with a comprehensive and efficient value-add methodology.

Here for you, every step of the way.

Independent, Not Alone

LPL Financial is an independent broker/dealer, and therefore does not offer proprietary investment, insurance or banking products. This enables partners such as BluHawk Wealth Management, LLC to offer the client professional advice and service.

Sophistication

We strive to keep things simple, yet offer value-add touches for our clients by providing both streamlined and personal service — such as paperless reporting, esignature software/integrated financial, investment tax planning, and risk management tools and analysis.

Client-Oriented

Our approach is centered around you, the client. We listen attentively to your dreams and aspirations, helping you articulate your goals and charting a path to turn them into reality.

Dual Success

Our success is measured by your success. When you entrust us with your financial affairs, you can rest assured knowing that we are fully dedicated to your best interests.
