Trust Matters These days who you trust matters. When clients come in for a meeting, they know they can trust Melanie, Ken, and Waterstone Private Wealth Management. By Duane Blankenship Melanie Hasty-Grant and Ken Grant own Waterstone Private Wealth Management, with offices in Owasso and at Utica Square in Tulsa. “With 20+ combined years of experience in the financial industry, we’ve been around the block more than once,” says Melanie. “We love what we do and are in the financial business for the long haul.” Clients know Waterstone has the experience and track record for understanding the market. “When clients meet with us, they have trust in us and what we do,” says Melanie.“ Those who place their trust in us know that we do the right things for the right reasons with no mixed loyalties. Our clients know we have a well thought-out plan and that we will be there for them through thick and

They hold no inventory of “stuff” that they have to sell, and they have no proprietary products. This means they have access to all investments available on the market, and they customize plans specifically to clients’ needs. “Clearing” through LPL Financial means that while being independent, Waterstone is also regulated by FINRA, have annual audits, and recordkeeping and statements are produced by LPL Financial.

As Oklahomans attempt to burn off the holiday pounds and shake the year end blues, flocks of folks end up in temporary gym memberships that offer no support or flexibility. Fit For Her in Owasso is a different type of fitness facility, boasting an all inclusive membership including two floors of true 24/7 access, cardio areas, machine and free weight areas, personal training, tanning, sauna, massage chairs, and two children’s play rooms all for one low price. Fit For Her does not suffer under the traditional ebb and flow of New Year’s resolutions. “Fit For Her is a place women want to stay,” says owner Adana

clients have the best of both worlds: having their money managed in a way that is solely in their best interest and having a large company standing behind them and their money. Ken and Melanie are frequent contributors to national television and radio shows such as CNBC’s “PowerLunch,” “Fox Business News,” “MarketWatch Radio” (broadcast from the New York Stock Exchange), and “The Wall Street Journal.” “The recent volatility in the markets have been a wakeup call for most investors that the rules have changed and they need someone they can trust to help guide them towards their financial goals,” said Ken.

Pruitt’s Auto Collision is happy to check a vehicle for flood damage for free, before you purchase.
