Overview
Overview of our Firm
Columbia River Financial Group, LLC was started with the core foundation that clients deserve caring and thoughtful advice to help
them with their financial goals. We were formally registered as an investment advisor in 2017 to embrace our fiduciary obligations to
clients. We are owned by Chad Peterson and all services are provided through our Investment Advisor Representatives
[“Representative”].
It is important for you to provide your Representative with information on your investment goals (objectives), time before you will need
to use your investments (time horizon), and any other information that might impact the types of investments recommended by your
Representative. Representatives will learn about your investment objectives through a variety of means, including interviews, ques-
tionnaires or through a comprehensive financial review.
Advisory Services Offered
Investment Management Services
After gathering information about your financial goals, we will provide Investment Management Services on a discretionary basis, alt-
hough we have some existing clients who are managed on a non-discretionary basis (meaning we have to obtain approval before mak-
ing trades). Investment Management Services includes portfolio construction, investment selection, periodic reporting and execution
of trades. We continue to monitor portfolio allocation and underlying investments and rebalance and reallocate the accounts as need-
ed. In most cases, your investments will be tailored to match your objectives and time horizon. We provide ongoing and continuous
customized investment management services and are not restricted to any specific types of investments. You have the option to note
any special instructions (exclusions or restrictions to investment purchases) on the investment advisory agreement you sign with us.
Financial Planning Services
If engaged by clients for Financial Planning Services we may provide investment advice, financial goals
and objectives analysis, finan-
cial and retirement planning (including the sale of a business), career choice and transitions, wealth transfer (inheritance or giving
wealth to family or charities), family changes (marriage, re-marriage and divorce), and advice for loss of life situations. It is important
for you to know that each individual has different situations or demands and not all of the above noted services will be provided to each
client. It is also important to know that no discretionary or non-discretionary trading authority is granted to Advisor through this ar-
rangement. Other services may include, but are not limited to:
