Pinnacle Asset Management Advisors Join Elite Raymond James Council

Barry Moody and Chris Adams invited to serve with nationwide group

Two advisors from Pinnacle Asset Management have been asked to join an elite, nationwide group of Raymond James advisors that specializes in working with corporate retirement plans. Barry Moody, financial consultant and investment executive, and Chris Adams, financial consultant, were chosen to become part of the Retirement Planning Advisory Council (RPAC) of Raymond James.

“Barry and Chris represent the very top tier of advisors,” said Gary Collier, manager of Pinnacle Asset Management. “They have established a standard of care for serving retirement plans and their sponsors. The select group they are joining represent less than 1 percent of all Raymond James advisors, and they are dedicated to helping clients manage corporate retirement plans with a fiduciary standard of care.”

The two have worked with corporate retirement plans for decades, helping local companies manage 401(k) and other employee benefit plans. They consult on design, management and investment and also serve as plan fiduciaries.

Based nationwide, RPAC advisors act with care, prudence and diligence to consult with businesses on evaluating alternatives and coordinating the different components of the 401(k) process on an ongoing basis. They serve as trusted consultants with a wide array of available solutions and access to dedicated support through Raymond James Institutional Fiduciary Solutions (IFS), though they are under no obligation to use proprietary products.

In addition to working with retirement plans, Moody and Adams provide comprehensive investment advice, planning, and retirement solutions to individuals.

Pinnacle Asset Management is a division of Pinnacle Financial Partners. The financial advisors there work through Raymond James Financial Services, Inc. to provide advice and services to businesses and individuals with significant investment needs. They have access to the full suite of investment products offered by Raymond James and serve clients from offices in Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia.
