About Vest

Vest was founded in 2012, based on the conviction that investors’ desire for more certainty in their investment outcomes is not being adequately met. To address this market need, we created Target Outcome Investments®, which target a defined return profile, with an allowance for a specific level of risk, at a particular point in time. Today, Target Outcome Investments are available as mutual funds, exchange traded funds, unit investment trusts, collective investment trusts, and customizable managed accounts / sub-advisory services. They seek to provide investors with targeted protection, enhanced returns, or income with a level of predictability unattainable with most other investments available today. First Trust Capital Partners LLC and Cboe Global Markets, Inc. indirectly have equity interests in Vest Financial. We are a young firm, growing fast and looking to expand our team to help serve our clients better.
