Testimonials
"I have been working with Ryland Hanstad for over 20 years, even before he was associated with LPL Financial. Ryland has done an excellent job of managing my investments. He is knowledgeable of the ways of the market. He is also knowledgeable of the personalities, goals and comfort levels of his clients. We meet consistently and we have developed a relationship based on trust. Ryland is extremely approachable. He has a calm demeanor and thoughtful approach to including his clients in his strategies for managing their money. Ryland Hanstad has gone the extra mile for me, including recently when I asked for assistance that was not necessarily within his job description. Ryland and Robyn Granfors have been extremely responsive and helpful to me. Ryland and his team are the best!"

"Ryland Hanstad has been my financial advisor for more than 15 years. He has taken the time to understand who I am so that he can best serve me. He has always been readily available for consultation and holds a quarterly face-to-face meeting with his clients. He has always been a good listener. Thanks to Ryland’s knowledgeable advice and organizational skills, he has set up my retirement accounts such that I need not worry about maintaining a secure financial future. Both he and his office administrator Robyn Granfors keep me apprised of the status of my investments, as well as of any market trends which could affect the value of those investments. I would recommend Ryland Hanstad to anyone seeking expert financial guidance."

"Ryland has been our financial advisor for over 20 years – since before there was Hanstad Wealth Management. He always provides well-reasoned advice and recommendations. He is a pleasure to work with. Over that time, Ryland has helped us define financial goals, setup long-term plans, and create education funds and retirement plans. Besides the obvious focus on investment growth and protection, his input and guidance addresses associated areas like tax management and inheritance planning. Frequent reviews of our status and ability to meet our goals have been inciteful and led to revisions to address our changing situation and risk-comfort level. He is now helping us navigate the transition to retirement. Ryland is always responsive and answers our (many) questions quickly, patiently and thoroughly - often being a calming influence when market events are concerning to us. Through his personal and LPL contacts, Ryland has access to experts in related financial areas such as tax management, donor advised funds and Medicare programs that have proven valuable. Ryland is supported by Robyn Granfors, who is efficient and responsive and is also a pleasure to work with. We rely on her to quickly field questions we have related to our accounts, procedural concerns and so much more. We have referred Ryland and HWM to several of our friends and are glad to recommend him as a financial advisor."

"I have known Ryland for about 20 years. We were both alumnae of the Babson College MBA program, which is how he reached out to me as a potential client. I had never had a financial advisor, so the timing was perfect. Ryland has provided education, guidance, and security by managing my financial assets, which have grown in value over the years. Ryland is great at explaining various market conditions, and adjustments. He is easy to talk to and will follow up on any questions I may have. We meet in-person 2 times per year and by phone as needed to review all the financials in my portfolio. He has also on occasion talked to my accountant if I had tax questions. Having this relationship has been more than just a financial activity. I consider Ryland a friend as well as a trusted financial advisor. Over the years we have shared our family experiences, as we watched our children grow, attend college, and move into the working world. These conversations have built trust and enabled Ryland to make the right financial decisions for my portfolio and my family. I highly recommend Ryland Hanstad, and his assistant Robyn Granfors, who has also been a great contact, as a trusted financial advisor team. They truly work to build strong, long-lasting relationships with their clients."

"I am pleased to write a letter of recommendation for Ryland Hanstad. I have been a client of Ryland’s for twenty years. When we first started working together I was a novice in the investment world. Over the years Ryland has helped me have a much greater understanding of how to interpret all the information he is presenting me. For our twice yearly reviews he is well prepared and thorough. He provides a level of detail that illustrates his commitment to giving me the information I need to understand what I’m looking at. At first all of it was daugnting but he very patiently has gotten me to the point that while I don’t understand everything, I do feel much wiser about what is happening with my portfolio. In addition to our twice annual meetings he has always been quick to respond to any phone calls or emails that I send his way. His regularly scheduled newsletters provide another layer of information to help educate his clients. Ryland is supported by his Client Services Director, Robyn, who has also been extremely responsive and helpful when I have had questions. Individually and as a team they are very accessible, knowledgeable and supportive. It is obvious to me that they care about and take care of their clients. I highly recommend Ryland as a financial advisor to help you achieve your financial goals."

"I have been a client of Ryland Hanstad since 2006. Through the years, Ryland has skillfully managed my retirement portfolio and obtained a healthy averaged annualized gain on my holdings. He has helped me with rolling over a portion of the IRA account that he has managed for me into a Roth IRA account, and with rolling over assets in my 401K and 403B retirement accounts into the IRA and Roth IRA accounts that he currently manages for me. Both he and his assistant Robyn Granfors have been very helpful and professional in setting up and attending conference calls with the relevant 3rd parties to effect these transfers, thus relieving me of the burden and uncertainty of trying to do this on my own. Through all of the various downturns and upturns in the market over the years, Ryland has been a steady source of calmness and reason. Each time we meet to review my portfolio, he is careful to explain the investment choices and changes he has made or is about to make as well as assess my own tolerance for investment risk. As I am about to retire and begin drawing on my retirement accounts, I feel confident that Ryland will be able to manage distributions from these accounts and continue to gainfully manage the investments in these accounts.for the long term. In addition to managing my portfolio, Ryland has also provided advice and put together informative meetings with experts on a variety of topics including Medicare, estate planning, and long-term health care insurance. I also appreciate and find helpful both the periodic and special commentary provided by LPL on the market and investment outlook that I receive via email from Hanstad Wealth Management."

"For years we were hesitant to trust a financial advisor until we found Hanstad Wealth Management. From our first meeting with Ryland Hanstad and in every quarterly meeting since, we have felt confident and listened to for 8 years and counting. As a married couple with differing perspectives on investing, Ryland always addresses both with equity, honesty, and professionalism. There is a personal level of quality to the service that Ryland provides. He has guided us and prepared our investments with precision and positive returns towards our retirement. Choosing Hanstad Wealth Management is a decision we will never regret."
