Unbiased Investment Advice From Experienced Professionals
The Capital Advisory Group, LLC, formerly known as Machtig & Associates, has earned national recognition for their approach to investing. As retirement planners and asset managers, we've gained recognition even more valuable: the trust and gratitude of hard-working professionals, business owners and families.

Our philosophy, The Machtig Method, is designed to apply a thorough comprehensive approach to financial planning. We seek to help conservative and moderate investors who want to live well and preserve wealth through careful private asset management and estate, tax, and insurance consulting.

Brett Machtig has established the Machtig Method through 24 years of investing and estate-planning experience. From learning and understanding every facet of your financial situation to managing your wealth according to your goals, our team of advisors follows a methodology that puts your best interests first.

The system is based upon improving cash flow and then investing in long-term assets that also have good earnings potential and a higher of degree of relative safety. The assets are selected for non-correlation. During high-risk periods in the markets, exposure is reduced to help preserve assets. Clients could have more to invest and, theoretically, a better chance of meeting their performance expectations on their investments.
