As independent financial service professionals, we have the freedom to choose the strategies that work best for each of our clients. In order to pursue the retirement of your dreams and meet the retirement income challenge, we will build an investment plan that seeks to help you grow your retirement assets while helping you keep it balanced through changing times.

In order to maximize the potential of clients’ assets, we have access to comprehensive research tools, a vast array of financial products, up to date technology, and the backing of LPL Financial to custodian all of our client assets.

"We will strive to do ordinary things, extraordinarily well."

Having spent four years with First Choice Financial, an investment research firm, Kevin Kraft felt that today’s consumers deserved more than just a salesman approach to managing individual assets.

Dedicated to assist in the development of true independent wealth plans, Kevin Kraft founded APS Associates in order to provide retirement planning, estate planning and asset management services to each of our valued clients.
