Cody Forbush, Investment Strategist, AVP

While in his former position, Investment Portfolio Strategist, Forbush has led sales and client development for the continuing growth of clients served at TS Prosperity Group.

Now in his new role, Forbush will align more closely with the investment team and clients to serve their needs. As a member of the Investment Committee, clients now have easier access to ask questions about the markets and how they impact the client’s bottom line.

“It is great to work for a company that cares so much about their clients and wants to create a win, win situation for the client to ignite their personal prosperity, said Forbush.”

Jim Koch, Senior Fiduciary Officer, VP

Leading the regulatory and fiduciary areas of the TS Prosperity Group, Koch’s years of experience with policy, regulation and administering accounts are essential in providing fiduciary services. Now with TS Prosperity Group for eight and a half years, past positions Koch has held with the company include Fiduciary Officer and Fiduciary Administrative Officer.

“My goal is to serve clients as if the future of their prosperity plan was my own, providing them with fiduciary leadership and offering them the best investment options to protect their family legacy into the next generation,” said Koch.

Brett Werner, Chief Investment Officer

Joining the company in 2011 Werner is responsible for the proper allocation and risk management of the investment portfolios at TS Prosperity Group, with his main involvement being in developing the current Core Portfolios methods. His experience in fixed income investing, modeling of portfolio risk and returns and analytics background are key variables in maintaining the continuity of the investment philosophies that have built TS Prosperity Group. Werner currently holds a BSBA from Creighton University and has attained the Chartered Financial Analyst designation.

“We believe that while skill and knowledge are valuable for managing the finances of individuals, families, and companies, TS Prosperity’s most important offering is integrity. We choose to manage investments with the mindset of always doing what is in our clients’ best interest,” said Werner. “This means taking time to get to know our clients so we can truly put ourselves in our clients’ shoes, which allows us to best use our skill and knowledge for each client’s benefit. We don’t do this because it’s required by law, we do it because, simply put, it’s the right thing to do.”

TS Prosperity Group congratulates these employees on their promotions, and is confident that these employees will assist the organization in many successful years to come for our clients and the company.
