Knoxville, TN – April 18, 2013 – Bob Fugate, CEO and President of Retirement Financial Solutions, was recently featured in Newsweek with other leading professionals as one of America’s PremierExperts’® “Financial Trendsetters.” In the Newsweek feature, Bob Fugate and other leading financial professionals were showcased for their forward thinking and successful strategies for wealth management, retirement planning, wealth building and much more.

Here is what the Newsweek feature had to say about Mr. Fugate:

In 2005, Bob adopted the endowment model of diversification established by David Swenson, CFO of Yale University’s Endowment Fund. Bob believes in the diversification of this endowment model and he uses it with his clients. Since 2005, the clients that used this approach-Swenson’s endowment model- have seen little or no negative returns in their total account value, including 2008 which was a hard year for many investors. It’s an impressive track record, a record which has been won with down-home values like honesty and old-fashioned common sense.
