“Working with Insight Capital Management has been wonderful, they are very responsive and I feel we always have a clear picture of our investments. When I made the decision to retire earlier than planned they helped me see what was possible and how I could make that work. I was unsure if I could do it, and their help provided me with a roadmap for my next chapter.”

“My one regret is that I didn’t turn my 401k over to Insight sooner. Once I did, my investment grew rapidly. I also appreciated how you were receptive to my cautiousness. You were with me every step of the way, explaining the various investment options. That initial cautiousness led me to trust what I saw your team accomplishing for me, even with the more conservative investment plan. My trust & confidence in you allowed me to take the step into a more aggressive investment plan, and I have been extremely happy with the results.”

“I’ve been a client of Insight Capital Management since approximately 1995. I’m not their wealthiest client, but I’ve always been treated as though I am. Following the advice of Insight Capital and his team allowed me to build wealth when that was the goal, and create income now that I’m retired. My confidence in the Insight team has lead me to refer several friends and family members to them. They perform like a big firm and care like a small one!”

“What I love about Insight Capital Management are their frequent and very informative newsletters keeping me up to date about my accounts and the overall market. Dustin, Dave and their team take the time to explain my investments, the rationales behind the recommendations they make, and how they are performing — all with a gentle, confident demeanor. They always make me feel reassured, even when the market is not doing so well. And perhaps more importantly, my investments with ICM are outperforming the overall market. Can’t do any better than that.”
