Why Choose SCM?

35+ years and still going.

Founded in 1989, Scarborough has guided clients through recessions, a financial crisis, a global pandemic, and more market cycles than we can count. That kind of experience — seeing what works and what doesn’t across decades — accumulates with time.

One dedicated advisor. Not a call center.

You have one advisor who knows your name, your situation, and your goals. Reachable by phone or email. No queues. No departments. Just someone invested in your outcome.

The right size.

Large enough to offer a full range of services — with multiple CFP^® professionals, Chartered Retirement Planning Counselors, and experienced support staff. Small enough that you’re never just an account number. At some of the largest firms, you need $250,000+ just to speak with an advisor. Not here.

Transparent fees.

We are a fee-based Registered Investment Adviser. Our fees are simple, fully disclosed, and aligned with your success.

Protect first. Grow second.

Our conservative, long-term philosophy is designed to protect your life savings above all else, then grow them steadily over time.

Recognized for excellence.
