Kowal Investment Group — Brookfield, WI
Marketing BrandAs financial advisors specializing in retirement, we tailor our services to individuals and business owners in need of retirement and transition planning. Operating under CREATIVE PLANNING (CRD #105348).
Why This Matters
A marketing brand is the name a financial advisor uses with clients. It is often different from the SEC-registered firm that is legally responsible for their conduct and your money.
When you search for “Kowal Investment Group,” you won't find it on the SEC or FINRA websites. That's because the regulatory entity is CREATIVE PLANNING. Any disclosures, complaints, or regulatory actions are filed under the firm — not the brand.
