THE WOODLANDS, Texas -- United Capital The Woodlands has landed the eleventh spot among the Houston Business Journals’ list of Top 25 Wealth Management Firms and Practices with investment minimums of less than $1 million.

“We are proud to land within the top half of this prestigious list of wealth management firms in the greater Houston area, especially as we approach our thirtieth anniversary,” explained Ellis. “I truly believe money decisions are not really about money. Instead, they are more about who you are and what you love and act as a tool to help you live out your values.”

Ellis says he’s enjoyed helping families with their financial life management over the years, often serving as a student, educator, coach, counselor, and expert, often all in one meeting.

He educates others through a weekly financial column in The Villager and Courier and has given back by using his financial acumen and leadership to benefit not only thousands of retirees but also the community.
