Wealth management designed around you.

You are unique. Your investment portfolio should be too. Our team takes a personalized approach by placing your needs, wants and priorities at the forefront of everything we do.

How it all started

The Smolensky Group was established in 1986 and joined Ventum Financial Corp. (previously PI Financial Corp.) in 2016. Our team has a long history of working together with over 100 years of combined investment experience. As wealth managers at Ventum, we aren’t beholden to any particular investment products. This allows us to give you unbiased advice with no limitations.
