United States, January 16, 2025 — Wealth Management in Southern Colorado

Ryan S. Griego, Managing Director and Senior Portfolio Manager at The Gryphon Group of RBC Wealth Management, operating as a solo practitioner with nearly two decades of experience, Griego has successfully blended personal client relationships with active investment management.

Griego’s approach is notably hands-on, as he personally manages both client portfolios and relationships, providing a customized and direct connection with each client. This dual responsibility, allowing for a tailored financial strategy designed around each client’s unique needs and goals. His investment philosophy is centered on discretionary management, focusing on three distinct investment models that rely solely on stocks and cash as a hedge—avoiding the use of mutual funds and ETFs that are common in the industry.

“I’ve always believed that managing both the client relationship and the investments myself allows me to offer a truly customized experience,” said Griego. “It’s about being fully accountable to my clients. That connection is something they value.”

Since joining RBC Wealth Management in 2016, Griego has steadily grown his practice. 

“Passive management certainly has its place, but today’s market is driven by momentum rather than fundamentals. That’s where I believe active management truly makes a difference,” Griego explained.

Griego’s belief in the value of hands-on management is evident in his commitment to guiding clients with personalized strategies that move beyond the “set it and forget it” approach often found with passive investment strategies.

Building Wealth with Integrity and Transparency

Transparency, integrity, and direct communication are at the core of Griego’s approach. He prioritizes honesty, making sure his clients have a clear understanding of their financial positions and how their investments align with their long-term goals.

“I believe it’s my responsibility to tell clients what they need to hear, even when the message is tough. It’s about setting them up for a secure retirement, not just making them feel good in the moment,” Griego noted.

Griego’s commitment to transparency extends to his high-touch approach to client service. Regular communication, detailed performance reviews, and an open dialogue about market conditions helps see that clients are confident and informed in their financial decisions.

His use of individual stock positions rather than mutual funds or ETFs also provides clients with a clearer understanding of their investments, allowing them to take a more active role in their wealth planning.

A Team That Supports Growth

Although Griego runs his practice independently, he is quick to credit his two senior assistants, Desiree Avina and Kim Ritchie, for their vital role in supporting the rapidly growing client base. Combined, Desiree and Kim bring over 65 years of experience in wealth management to the team. Their expertise helps Griego maintain the personal, high-touch service that his clients have come to expect, even as the practice continues to grow.

“Desiree and Kim have been essential in helping me manage the expanding demands of my practice,” said Griego. “Their professionalism and experience allow me to focus on providing clients with the attention and strategy they need while providing the smooth day-to-day operations of the business.”

This dedicated team of seasoned professionals is integral to the Gryphon Group’s ability to manage the complexities of each client’s financial journey.

Community Impact

Griego’s impact reaches well beyond investment management. By helping families build wealth, he creates opportunities for future generations to help achieve their dreams, whether it’s funding education, purchasing a home, or enjoying a comfortable retirement.

“Helping families reach their financial goals is what fuels my passion every day,” Griego shared. “There’s nothing more rewarding than watching my clients achieve what they thought was once impossible.”
