What is Tallus
Tallus is the supporting rock under a cliff face. We like to think of it as, Us as professionals supporting You as we navigate the risk of the global financial markets together.
History of Tallus
Managing Director and Founder, John Easley, had worked with a number of firms, most notably Merrill Lynch, where he was the sales manager for the Seattle Complex and in charge of the new advisor training program. These prior firms all had one thing in common, they were not as client focused as John felt they should be.
It was with his passion for the capital markets and conviction towards client care that John H Easley III founded Tallus in 2009. These qualities remain the primary focus today; Independent advice, no proprietary products, and comprehensive wealth strategies resulting in custom plans built around each client with their priorities first. Each individual that John has recruited to Tallus Capital Management shares a similar value set and commitment to client care.

Everyone on our team has years of experience and industry qualifications. Your financial strategy is not our experiment.
