Portfolio Management in Wichita, KS

Wichita investors face a common problem: they have money spread across multiple accounts — a 401(k) from a previous Spirit AeroSystems job, an IRA opened years ago, some investments they set up after a bonus and haven't touched since — but no one has ever looked at the whole picture and asked whether it's actually working.

That's portfolio management. Not just picking funds, but coordinating the assets you have, adding to them strategically, and making sure everything is working together toward a clear goal.

StewardRight provides active portfolio management for individuals and families throughout Wichita. We're fee-based — paid directly by you — and fiduciary, meaning our investment decisions are required to be in your best interest.

What We Manage for Wichita Clients

Many of our Wichita clients live in established neighborhoods like Riverside, College Hill, and the Douglas Design District, as well as growing residential areas across the Eastside and Linwood. Whether you're in Old Town, Delano, or Fairmount, we serve families and professionals throughout the metro who are building wealth intentionally.

Employer Retirement Plans (401k / 403b)

Wichita's major employers — Spirit AeroSystems, Textron Aviation, INVISTA, Koch Industries, Wesley Healthcare, and others — offer a range of 401(k) structures, matching schedules, and investment lineups. We help employees optimize their elections within their plan, and help those who've separated or retired roll assets into a structure that fits their overall strategy.

IRA and Roth IRA

Traditional and Roth accounts are the foundation of most Wichita residents' retirement savings outside their employer plan. We manage these assets, make tax-efficient withdrawal decisions, and coordinate Roth conversion strategies when they make sense.

Taxable Investment Accounts

For clients beyond the contribution limits of retirement accounts, or those who want accessible investment assets, we build and manage diversified taxable portfolios with attention to tax-loss harvesting and cost efficiency.

College Savings (529 Plans)

Kansas residents have access to the Learning Quest 529 plan, which offers state tax deductions on contributions. We help Wichita families choose the right approach for education savings without over-funding at the expense of retirement.

Our Investment Philosophy for Wichita Clients

We don't chase performance. We build portfolios with a purpose — and that purpose is defined by your goals, your timeline, and your risk tolerance, not by what the market did last quarter.

A few principles that guide how we invest:

Costs are the one guaranteed return driver. High-fee investments are a drag on every client's results. We're disciplined about investment costs and transparent about what you're paying.

Diversification means owning the right mix, not just a lot of things. A Wichita aerospace worker who has most of their net worth tied up in Spirit or Textron stock has an undiversified portfolio — even if they have other accounts. We address these concentrations directly.

Tax efficiency is part of the investment decision. Where assets are held (Roth vs. traditional vs. taxable), when gains are realized, and how income is distributed all affect what you actually keep. We manage portfolios with an eye on all of it.

You should always understand what you own. We don't use products we can't explain in plain English. No black boxes, no complex structures that exist to generate fees.

Working With a Wichita Portfolio Manager

Our client relationships are ongoing, not transactional. We meet quarterly at minimum, review your portfolio in the context of your financial plan, and make adjustments as your life and the market change.

When major events happen — a job change, a business sale, an inheritance, a market correction — you hear from us. We don't wait for you to call.

We're local. We know Wichita's employers and economic landscape. When Spirit announces a layoff round, we're already thinking about what our clients in that situation need to do. When Koch Industries changes its retirement plan structure, we're paying attention.
