What Makes Us Different
How Etch is Different
Founded in 2023 by Ryan Galiotto after 15 years with a large broker/dealer, Etch was built for modern families with real complexity.
We don’t just manage portfolios, we connect the dots between retirement income, tax strategy, investments, college planning, student loans, insurance, and legacy decisions. Every piece should support the others.
Also:
- We’re Fiduciaries, Period. As fiduciaries, we are legally and ethically bound to put your interests first. No hidden commissions, no proprietary products, and absolutely no sales pressure.
- Modern Solutions for Modern Problems. We don’t just manage portfolios. We solve the things keeping you up at night: making sure you don’t outlive your savings, figuring out how to pay for college, getting rid of student loan debt, long-term care, and more.Â
- Education First. An informed person is a confident person. We provide the expert guidance and data you need to understand the why behind what we recommend so you can make informed, confident decisions.Â
- Complexity Management. Financial planning and investment management are full-time jobs with complex math. If you don’t have the time, expertise, or interest to do it–we’ll take it off your plate, and make sure it’s all done right.
