NAAIM Member

CMG is a member of the National Association of Active Investment Managers

The National Association of Active Investment Managers was formed in 1989 as a non-profit association of registered investment advisors who provide active money management services to their clients in order to produce favorable, risk-adjusted returns as an alternative to more passive, buy and hold strategies.  Comprised of a small group of successful, passionate firms, NAAIM has grown to include roughly 200 member firms nationwide, managing over $30 billion. NAAIM’s purpose is to promote the common interests of those investment advisors who prove active investment management services to clients.

NAAIM’s membership ranges from small regional firms to large national firms with over $1b AUM, including hedge fund managers, mutual fund companies and a variety of other firms that provide professional services to RIAs.


NAPFA Partner

CMG is a member of The National Association of Personal Financial Advisors

The National Association of Personal Financial Advisors is the country’s leading professional association of Fee-Only financial advisors—highly trained professionals who are committed to working in the best interests of those they serve. Our Rich History began in 1983 when a group of advisors simply wanted to serve their clients without muddling the relationship with commissions. Since then we have developed high standards in the field and each advisor must sign and renew a Fiduciary Oath yearly and subscribe to our Code of Ethics.  It’s all a part of the mission of NAPFA.
