Setting Ourselves Apart: The Advantage of a Different Approach

Since our humble beginnings in 1992, FS Advisors Wealth Management (formerly Fox-Smith Wealth Management) has grown into one of Colorado’s largest privately held wealth management firms. As a premier financial advisory firm in Denver, we’re frequently sought out by other advisors who look to us for guidance on our distinctive approach to wealth management and business strategy.

Details That Make a Difference: 

At FS Advisors, we stand out because we manage your investments directly—never outsourcing to third-party money managers. While many advisors act as intermediaries, passing off assets to external managers, we believe you deserve direct access to the professionals responsible for growing and protecting your wealth.

A Firm Built on In-House, Tactical Expertise: 

Our founder, Gus Fox-Smith, established this firm on the principle of in-house, tactical asset management. Every investment decision is made within our walls, giving you the advantage of a personal connection with those directly managing your assets. This approach also eliminates additional fees that often come with outsourced management, allowing us to provide high-level, tactical strategies typically reserved for ultra-high-net-worth individuals—all while keeping costs lower and enhancing transparency.

Tailoring Strategic and Dynamic Solutions

Tailoring Strategic and Dynamic Solutions

Our approach combines the stability of “buy-and-hold” with the agility of tactical investing. Unlike many other advisors who strictly subscribe to just one model, we blend these methods to pursue optimal long-term results, allowing us to adapt more readily to changing market conditions and provide enhanced protection against volatility—safeguarding and growing our clients' hard-earned assets in all environments.

Our Core Values

Active Tactical Wealth Management

While many advisors use passive strategies hoping to weather the storms of the markets, we try to chart a course around them. Through an active asset management approach, we manage risk differently and may be able to take advantage of opportunities others miss, even in down markets.

Responsive, Full-Time Service

We’re committed to fast, responsive service to ensure you can get the timely, accurate answers you need. Our desire to provide an excellent client experience means we’ll see every inquiry through to your full satisfaction. 

Educational Guidance and Advice

We place an emphasis on educating our community. For clients, this means our review meetings are in-depth and market analyses are informative. For the greater community, we strive to spread financial literacy and understanding.

Proactive Risk Management

While we can’t predict your future or the markets, we can help protect you against what you might encounter. We take proactive measures to manage your risks with the goal of  minimizing the impact of life events as well as inevitable market downturns.

All investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. There is no assurance that any investment strategy will be successful. Investors should consider their financial ability to continue to purchase through periods of low price levels.
