Our name, Meritas is the combination of two principles that guide our practice, Merit and Veritas.   Merit is character or conduct worthy of reward, honor or esteem.  We seek only those investments deserving of our clients’ attention, while aiming to consistently provide praiseworthy service, guided by an honorable code of conduct.  Veritas is Latin for truth.  We believe enduring success requires a deep abidance in truth.  We endeavor to distill the truth of investments, markets and the economy.  We are dedicated to lifelong learning and continuous improvement of ourselves and our firm for the benefit of our clients.
