Richard Haskell, Sr.

Haskell is the founder and Managing Director of Signature Wealth Management, a Utah based financial services and wealth management practice; publishes weekly economic and market commentary via newsletter and various blog sites under the moniker, Signature Update; and provides financial and economic content for Today’s Money Tools (www.todaysmoneytools.com).  He is currently engaged as a graduate student in Economics at the University of Utah.

Haskell’s career in wealth management and financial services has spanned the better part of three decades.  He has a wealth of business and financial services experience that includes his years with a major Wall Street brokerage firm, building a successful independent financial services practice, and creating and managing several small business  enterprises.  Haskell’s grasp of economic issues, as they relate to markets and businesses, provides the framework from which he serves his clients.  

Haskell earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Brigham Young University in Family Financial Planning and Counseling and immediately began his career with Dean Witter Reynolds, Inc. in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1984.  He went on to manage advisors and offices for Dean Witter in New York and in the southwestern United States and later associated with an independent broker dealer firm in the intermountain region in 1998.  He founded Signature Wealth Management in 2006 and expanded his practice to include Signature Update and Today’s Money Tools.

Haskell, his wife, and their four children made Utah their home in 1989, and he has since managed his financial practice from his South Jordan, Utah office.  Haskell understands the needs of his clients, as he pulls from his own experiences as a husband, father, grandfather, employee, and business owner.  Over the years he has worked with many hundreds of families and small businesses, each with their own individual needs and concerns.

Haskell currently serves on the Board of Trustees for Itineris Early College High School (a charter high school of the Utah Department of Education), and is a member of the Board of Directors of Salt Lake American Diversity (a Utah based charitable foundation promoting cultural diversity). He is a three-time recipient of the Outstanding Young Men of America Award and is currently listed in Who’s Who in American Business. Haskell currently holds an active Utah State Insurance License, and handles a wide variety of client financial needs.
