About Us
Our Firm
Frieden Wealth Management, Inc., doing business as The Frieden Agency, has served clients for nearly a century. Our firm began as an insurance agency founded in 1928 and has grown into a full-service financial organization with a team that offers services in investment management, retirement planning, insurance, and employee benefits.
We remain independent to serve our clients better. This structure allows us to offer personalized guidance, thoughtful recommendations, and access to resources that support long-term planning. Our goal is to help clients understand their financial options and choose strategies that suit their needs.
Our Mission
Our mission is to deliver reliable, personalized financial guidance through every stage of life. We aim to provide clarity, help simplify decisions, and serve as a steady partner as you plan for the future.
We value long-term relationships and believe clients deserve a supportive environment where financial questions are welcomed and addressed carefully.
Our History
The Frieden Agency was established in 1928 by Jack J. Leterman as one of the original John Hancock agencies in Virginia. Over generations, the firm remained family-led and expanded its services to meet the changing financial needs of the community.
In the late 1990s, the firm introduced a dedicated retirement and wealth management division, which is now the primary focus of Frieden Wealth Management. While our capabilities have grown, our long-standing commitment to client service remains the foundation of our work.
Our Team
The Frieden Agency is home to several advisors and a full administrative and client support staff. Our team works collaboratively to serve clients across financial planning, investments, insurance, health and Medicare solutions, and employer benefits.
Each advisor brings specific experience and a shared commitment to client service. Our support staff helps ensure consistency, responsiveness, and an organized planning experience.
