Edelman Financial Services LLC, the nationally acclaimed investment management firm headed by renowned financial advisor, author and talk show host Ric Edelman, announced the opening of two offices to serve the Boston area: 25 Burlington Mall Road, Suite 405, Burlington, MA 01803 and 160 Gould Street, Suite 204, Needham, MA 02494. The Truth About Money with Ric Edelman can be heard on WBZ NewsRadio 1030 Sundays from 10:00am-12noon.

“Consumers have too few opportunities to get the independent, objective financial advice they need,” said Ric Edelman, ranked the #1 independent financial advisor in the nation by Barron’s*. “We receive hundreds of phone calls and e-mails every week from people seeking financial advice and information, so we are opening more local offices to help them.”

With offices in Maryland, Virginia, New Jersey, New York, Illinois, Michigan, Massachusetts and Florida, Edelman Financial manages $6.5 billion for nearly 15,000 clients across the country. While most investment firms serve only the wealthy, Edelman Financial Services is known for also catering to those who are not yet millionaires. “Although many of our clients have a high net worth,” Edelman explained, “most of our clients are not in that exclusive realm. Our clients typically are middle class folks attempting to pay for college for their kids while trying to secure their own retirement. It’s an honor to serve them.”
