Ed Peagler is the President and primary financial advisor at E.P. Wayne Financial Group, an independent financial advisory firm with an office in Forest Acres, serving clients throughout Columbia. Founded in 2017, the firm provides financial planning and investment management to individuals, families, and business owners, with a focus on building long-term client relationships.
Individuals & Families
Ed helps individuals and families with retirement planning, investment management, and insurance planning — the decisions that shape their future.
Business Owners
Ed works directly with owners and their teams on group retirement plan design, investment selection, employee education, and ongoing maintenance, so the focus stays on running the business.
The firm partners with LPL Financial for custody, technology, and research — institutional-grade resources and no proprietary products, so advice stays independent.
Ed believes independence is central to how E.P. Wayne Financial Group serves its clients — it keeps the advice collaborative, fiduciary, and free of proprietary pressure. That freedom belongs to the client too: they choose from commission and advisory accounts and their level of involvement — with no hourly charges and no separate planning fees, there’s never a meter running on the conversation.
