About Us

Our approach: We earn your trust.

Since 1987, The Trust Company of Tennessee has specialized in helping individuals, families, business owners and nonprofits reach their financial goals. Our highly personalized approach allows us to intimately understand what success means to you and to build a lifelong relationship that fosters success. Part of what makes us different is being an independent firm, our objective advice, credentialed experience and planning specifically for your individual needs.

As an independent firm, we have the flexibility to develop custom solutions for your unique needs.

The Trust Company of Tennessee was founded with a single purpose: Build a privately owned financial services firm with the flexibility and objectivity to provide wealth, stability and growth.

We believe that investment success requires a disciplined and systematic approach.

Our investment philosophy is grounded in the academic tenets of Modern Portfolio Theory tempered by pragmatic investment experience.

Chief Investment Officer Miranda Carr, CFA®, leads our Investment Committee, which meets monthly to review research; discuss client communication and education; and monitor portfolios.

Previously we had three separate companies working on our plan, including a record keeper, a third-party administrator and an investment advisor. The simplified process of making one call to The Trust Company for all plan functions has proven incredibly more efficient in both time and cost.

Thank you for what I can only describe as a “lightening quick” transaction and the most notable customer service I have experienced in a very long time. It has always been a pleasure to work with you, not only on behalf of our firm, but also with my individual accounts. I have never been disappointed! I always recommend The Trust Company when I have the opportunity.

– Tom A. Ballentine, Chief Financial Officer, Baker, O’Kane, Atkins & Thompson
