Our History
Steven Guyer, CFA, worked for 17 years for an investment advisory firm managing money exclusively for insurance companies. He took great pride in developing close working relationships with his clients. After leaving this firm to pursue other opportunities, Steve was approached by a former client to join them as their Chief Investment Officer. While politely declining, he offered to fulfill that role independently while providing the same service to other select insurance companies.
Brad Herrick, CFA, partnered with Steve shortly after the founding of Wellspring. The firm was founded on the core philosophy that deep, committed client relationships will endure the test of time.
