Overview
Goodman Financial Corporation (“Goodman Financial,” “the Firm,” “our,” or “we”) is an independent investment
management firm that provides investment advice and portfolio management services on a continuing basis, including
the appropriate allocation of managed assets among cash, bonds, stocks, exchange-traded funds, and mutual funds
and the selection of specific securities that will provide diversification and help meet the client's stated investment
objectives.
Goodman Financial Corporation is a corporation controlled by Steve Goodman and has provided investment advice and
portfolio management services since 1989. The primary shareholder of the Firm is Steve Goodman.
Though Goodman Financial provides investment advice regarding all types of securities, our focus is on building
client investment portfolios through the purchase of individual bonds and equities in order to provide better tax
efficiency and avoid the layering of fees. Clients can impose investment guidelines or restrictions on investing in
certain securities
or types of securities, thus limiting the scope of potential investments. When selecting securities
and determining amounts to invest, we observe the investment guidelines and restrictions of the client.
In addition to investment advisory services, we also provide targeted financial advisory services on an as-needed
basis. The financial advisory services include, but are not limited to, cash flow planning, retirement needs analysis,
tax-efficient distribution strategies, gift and estate planning, employee benefits planning, annuity and insurance
(life, disability, and long-term care) reviews, and education planning. In very limited circumstances, these services
may also be offered separately from our investment advisory services at the discretion of Goodman Financial. In
such cases, a separate agreement is executed which documents the corresponding provisions and fees.
As of December 31, 2023, we have $698,591,022 in assets under management. All of these assets are managed on a
discretionary basis.
