About

Carlisle Financial Group is a value-oriented investment firm created specifically to address the long term investment needs of women. Our goal is to help women focus on the importance of their financial future by making intelligent investment decisions today and tomorrow. Carlisle Financial welcomes all women. Unlike most investment firms who often have a minimum account size, Carlisle Financial makes intelligent investing accessible to all.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

As a fee-only advisor, Carlisle Financial Group invests in an intelligent, value oriented and prudent manner, utilizing low-cost index funds to obtain diversification in global markets. The advantages of index funds are lower risk through diversification, lower fees, and eliminating individual stock and/or fund manager risk. And why the importance of valuation to our philosophy? Valuation is an essential step in intelligent investing. We employ a value-oriented investment process to our purchases and sales to have a better opportunity to create long term wealth.
