Fiduciary, Always

The principles that shape every recommendation we make.

Fiduciary always

We're a Registered Investment Advisor, bound by law to put your interests ahead of our own, on every recommendation, every time.

Independent

We're independently owned and operated, not part of a parent company in New York. That means our advice is shaped by your situation, not someone else's product shelf.

Memphis-rooted

We've served Memphis families, businesses, and institutions since 2015, with roots in this city that reach back to 1969. We know this community because we are this community.

Built on relationships

A plan is only as good as the people behind it. We invest in long-term relationships with our clients, many spanning generations.

A firm built for Memphis, by Memphis.

Duncan Williams Asset Management was born out of Duncan-Williams, Inc., a Memphis institution since 1969, and founded in 2015 on a simple idea: Memphis families deserved a fiduciary advisor who knew them by name, knew the local landscape, and could build wealth strategies that actually fit the way Memphis lives.

In the decade since, we've grown that idea into a practice that now stewards over $3 billion in assets for families, business owners, and non-profits across Memphis and the Mid-South, while staying true to our independent roots.

Newsweek and USA Today have recognized us as one of the top RIAs in Memphis, TN. We're proud of the recognition, but it's the long-term relationships (many spanning generations) that we measure success by.

We're a Registered Investment Advisor, which means a legal fiduciary duty to act in your best interest. Our Form ADV Part 2A and Form CRS explain how we are paid and the conflicts of interest that creates.

We don't just manage wealth. We invest in Memphis.

Since our founding, we've supported the institutions that make Memphis Memphis: health, civil rights, the arts, parks, and youth services. Here are some of the partners we proudly stand with.
