People with substantial financial resources have more complex needs.
See our servicesWe exist to manage your complex financial needs, simplify your life, and help you achieve your goals.
Our story begins twenty-seven years ago, when a small group of families with significant resources were looking for objective, customized, and sophisticated financial guidance.
What didn’t exist at the time had to be built, and the team that came together to serve these families was the beginning of Prairie Capital.
