LeBaron Financial Group is a diversified financial services firm located in beautiful Reed City, Michigan.  We have been serving individual clients and families and corporate or small business clients in the areas of cash management, investment planning, retirement plans and planning, insurance planning, estate planning, and education planning for over 40 years in Western and Central Michigan.  We have grown dramatically over the years along with our clients.

As a result of the growth in our practice, we found the need to fire our previous broker/dealer effective November 1, 2011.  After a 40 year relationship with AXA Advisors/AXA Equitable, we felt the need to improve the technology and services available through the broker/dealer.  This was not an easy decision due the the length of our relationship with AXA Advisors.  We can assure you the decision was not taken lightly and actually involved 13 months of interviews, research, and planning.  We feel that we have made a good, informed decision to change our broker/dealer to Harbour Investments, Inc.  The new broker/dealer is a Midwestern based firm located in Madison, Wisconsin.  They have a much more robust technology and product and services platform from our previous broker/dealer.  Harbour Investments is a full service, non-carrying broker/dealer.  Full Service means Harbour Investments deals with all financial products such as:  mutual funds, variable annuities, variable life, stocks, bonds, CDs, etc.  Non-carrying means Harbour Investments does not hold client cash or securities.  They simply provide three basic services to help us better serve our clients.  These services are providing a robust technology platform, providing a wide array of financial products from a huge number of investment and insurance companies without pressure to recommend one company's product over another's, and provide supervision over our office and our client's transactions.  

One thing that has not changed is that Richard LeBaron, ChFC, CLU and Jon LeBaron, CFP®, ChFC, CLU, MSFS are still here to serve you.
