Banister, Beck & Cobb Financial Advisors is a group of dedicated financial professionals with over 80 combined years of experience. An effective team is more than the sum of its parts and our four members leverage differing specialties to offer first-rate personalized investment and financial planning advice. Fred Banister’s long-term expertise experience in portfolio analysis and management for individual and corporate clients, combined with Julie Beck’s financial planning perspective as a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional creates the leadership for a full-service advisor team. Ryan Cobb, also a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional, joined the team in 2019 as an Investment Associate after serving clients in Davenport’s Virginia Beach branch, and Sandy Sheehan provides exceptional administrative and operational client service support.
