Folger Nolan Fleming Douglas Incorporated marked its 125th anniversary in 2014. Moving forward, we continue our efforts to make each year successively better by building upon the solid foundation and core values established by prior generations.

We prefer a long term approach that establishes a relationship of trust at the outset and continues to build rapport over time. We recognize that no two clients are alike, so each investment strategy emphasizes individual objectives, risk tolerance and preferences.
