“Blue Trust has helped open our eyes to finances in a new and healthy way. We would encourage anyone who is looking for biblical counsel around their finances to talk with the team at Blue Trust. Their planning process helped us understand our finances and pay off our debt and also empowered us to make decisions for the Kingdom!”

“Since Blue Trust’s team joined our family on our stewardship journey, we have more clearly understood our finances and have been empowered to accomplish our goals. We now see the value of having a financial planner, not just an investment advisor, to oversee all aspects of our situation.”

Demario and Tamela Davis
NFL Athlete and Founder of Devoted Dreamers Foundation

Jalen and Brie Beeks

“Since we started working with Blue Trust, we feel inspired and empowered to use our resources wisely for our future and God’s Kingdom. Blue Trust continues to help us see the big picture while keeping our debt-free goals a main priority.”

Team Approach

We've-Got-Your-Back

We’ve Got Your Back

Today, many athletes and entertainers will enjoy millions in earnings during a short time in the spotlight, often at a young age. This unique situation makes the need for a team skilled in comprehensive wealth management and experienced in understanding the circumstances and opportunities of athletes and entertainers even more critical to achieving lifelong financial goals.

Why We Are Industry Experts

The Blue Trust Difference

We provide financial, investment, and estate advice grounded in biblical principles. Over time, we have found these principles to be relevant to each professional we work with, regardless of their faith or religious beliefs.

Fee Only

Fee-only means you know exactly what your fee will be. There are no hidden fees, and we don’t receive any commission on selling you products.

We don’t take commissions on anything, ever. We will never try to sell you insurance or push a product on you. We are legally obliged to offer you only what is in your best financial interests. All of our services are offered in a fee-only model to give you completely objective advice based on your specific needs.

As fiduciary advisors, our organization offers the highest degree of regulation and rigor. We are legally obliged to always put our clients’ best interests first, and we provide annual comprehensive audits at the highest levels.

Gatekeeper

Our “gatekeeper capability” role allows you to share all business and giving opportunities with your Blue Trust advisor – he or she can affirm your “yes” when it fits your plan or deliver that tough “no” to people who may not have your best interests in mind.

Personal Accountability Partners

How many advisors have you had that asked you if you were meeting your personable and charitable financial goals? When most clients come to us, they have never been asked questions by any advisor about how their financial decisions are affecting their faith. We act not only as your financial guide, but as guides of timeless biblical wisdom that can take your life where it was meant to go: to the highest levels of personal achievement and satisfaction.

Comprehensive Team Planning

We don’t just help you create a spending plan or give investment advice. We coordinate all of your financial needs through one team, which for you means a single point of contact, your Financial Advisor. From top to bottom, we can help put your mind at ease about your financial situation so you can focus on your sport.

Common Concerns

  • Who should I trust when it comes to my finances?
  • Will I have enough to support this lifestyle after I retire?
  • What if my taxes get audited?
  • Should I buy my parents a house?
  • Can I find someone to hold me accountable on my spending and cash flow?
  • How much money should we leave to our kids?
  • What charities are actually having a kingdom impact?

We would be excited to share with you more about our services and how we have helped professional athletes and entertainers answer questions like these.
