Using the Scorecard requires a level of accountability by all parties. We believe you will instantly understand why this is the first step to building an extraordinary relationship.
Each Success Impacts the Future
Our diverse clients are united by the challenges of managing significant resources. Over time, every successful real-world experience informs the decisions we make for you. Through all of our interactions with clients and across all the relationships we share with them, privacy and confidentiality are paramount, and we hold ourselves to the highest standards as advocates for those we are privileged to serve. Understandably, when it comes to offering insight into the challenges we have successfully managed for our clients, we made the decision to keep such case studies private—managing ourselves to doing that which is in the best interest of the client.
Thinking Out Loud
Tom Ruggie has been quoted in media including The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, CNN Money, CNBC, and Fox Business News. Recently, he used his own experience as the owner of a sizable sports memorabilia collection as the impetus for an article published on Forbes.com. During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, he was asked for his insights by HFM Global on what COVID-19 disruptions meant for investors’ operations and investments.
Creating a Legacy of Continual Innovation
We’ve addressed what we see as an unanswered need in the investment and wealth management ecosystem for deep strategic thinking in key areas tailored to your situation, needs and goals. As a result, you are better able to navigate the complexity that exists at the intersection of your human, intellectual and financial capital.

Thomas H. Ruggie, ChFC®, CFP®
Founder and CEO
I spent my first 25 years professionally building Ruggie Wealth Management into one of the premier firms in the country. The knowledge and wisdom I gained from that has led me to dedicate my next 25 years to helping clients who are like me – successful men and women who are at the top of their field as entrepreneurs, academicians, business leaders and professionals, and who care deeply about their families, reach even further. By pulling together best-in-class advisors with a wide range of expertise and experience they trust, we are always sitting on their side of the table. We simplify their lives, so they’ll have more time to do what they do best and enjoy the most.
