 Our Story
Matt Stahl and Greg Naylor worked at the same large financial institution for about four years before leaving together to form Fiat Wealth Management in 2009. In economic textbooks, the term 'fiat currency' is loosely defined as 'faith-based currency.' The U.S. dollar is today a fiat currency, meaning that is has no physical backing such as gold or silver. Critics argue that this is a weakness. Fiat, however, sees this as an example of the importance of trust, and even faith, for economic relationships to exist. When a parent gives a child a dollar for school, it is a vote of confidence and faith. When an individual invests a dollar, they do so because they have faith that the underlying business will succeed. Without some amount of faith in each other, economic relationships both on a large and small scale cannot exist. Trust is the bedrock of the work at Fiat Wealth Management.
Our Future
In 2011, Greg and Matt were approached by GT Financial Advisors, LLC, an exclusive network of independent advisors, to join their group. Honored to receive an invitation to this group, Fiat Wealth Management and a dozen or so other members are able to share experience and knowledge with each other. Through the affiliation with GT Financial, Fiat Wealth Management is part of a network that manages over $400 million in assets.
