About Me

www.randolphassociates.netVicki Wille is a well seasoned portfolio manager with more than 25 years of giving expert investment guidance. She has always been interested in making money. In the 1960’s, during her high school days in Enid, Oklahoma, Vicki managed a fireworks stand for three years and put the profits in the stock market. Then in the early 1980’s she got married, had three kids, got divorced and worked as a sales assistant for Payne Weber. In 1984, Vicki became licensed and joined Rauscher, Pierce, & Refsnes. From 1989-2000 she became the only Las Vegas broker absorbed into the system while working for Dayne Boswitch. Also while working for Dayne Boswitch, in 1990, Vicki created and hosted the first ever Las Vegas woman’s advisory open board meeting. Then in 1991, Vicki became one of the first “Registered Investment Advisors” or “RIA”. Finally, in 2000, Vicki started Randolph & Associates and to present she has managed 70 million in assets.During the last few decades Vicki has learned there are many viewpoints and many styles of investing. She believes the investor needs to know what their personal goal is, along with the time frame and the risk (fear factor) which the investor can accept. Then they need to find the investment advisor that has similar psychological beliefs.To reach financial success is a simple formula – earn, save, invest and after time you will have created a nest egg and reached your goal. But how do you accomplish this?First, know what you want from your advisor – a) To be an order taker. You make all the decisions and they place the order. b) To have them place in products where you never have to see the investments – such as Mutual Funds, annuities, etc. c) To have discretion over the investments and still communicate with you.Secondly, is to know what your goal is – are you looking for growth or income – a) An income advisor is used when you want preservation of capital and an income on a regular basis b) A growth advisor is used when you want your money working hard or harder than you. You have an expectation that over time there will be more money than you invested.

I'd like to meet:

Vicki has found that few women take the time to ask what they want from life. What do they want their money to do and then how can they make this happen. Most women become prone to focusing on their career, husband, and/or children. Over the years, she has met women who earn large salaries, receive large divorce settlements or win large suits and end up with nothing because they do not stop and think about “the money”. Statistics show that of the women who invest, they are far more successful than men. Yet, only a small percentage of women invest. I ask you why? Why do you faithfully go to the doctor, dentist, never miss a good sale on clothes, and yet spend NO time on making your own money grow?
