Professional Approach

Dr. Ryan Peckham is a Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) with over 15 years of financial services experience. He established Rydar Equities, Inc. in 2009 with the primary goal of helping families and business owners achieve their financial goals through improved investing strategies. Dr. Peckham established an RIA because it allows for a closer one-on-one fiduciary relationship and, in most cases, is a fiscally better choice for clients.

Dr. Peckham finished his Doctorate in Business Administration from the University of Liverpool, England, in 2018, where he concentrated on Behavioral Finance. Behavioral Finance is the study of how psychology can impact the behavior of investors. Specifically, Dr. Peckham researched how critical incidents in investors' past influence their investment decision-making. These skills allow him to act as a trusted advisor to investors and as a guide through the emotional ups and downs of investing.
