Our method is different from other investment advisors. As one of about fifty nationally chartered trust companies in the United States, we are bound by a federally mandated standard that obligates us to serve your best interest and your best interest only. However, being a true fiduciary is more than just a legal designation. It’s our passion, mission, and how we work with our clients every day — by putting your best interest first.

As you navigate all of the stages of your life, you want to be sure that your investment plan and partner grows with you.

Investing with First Financial Trust means your money will grow and be protected, regardless of your goals.
Incorporate smart tax strategies
You’ve worked hard for your money. When your assets grow and you are saving and investing, it is paramount that your investment partner understands how to leverage the ever-changing, highly complex tax laws. That’s why considering your personal tax strategy is essential. We partner with tax professionals we trust to find ways to give your accounts as many tax advantages as the law will allow. Many of our clients already have tax professionals that they are working with, and we can easily partner with them to look at your entire investing picture. Understanding the implications of taxes on trusts, inheritance, or other estate plans is the only way to ensure your hard work will not be swallowed up by probate fees or capital gains taxes. Putting you in control of smart tax strategies is what we do for our clients every day.
