Founder & financial advisor
Ryan Graves,
CFA, CFP®
A serious investment background, a refreshingly normal way of talking about money.
Why Bemiston exists
Better advice starts with a better experience.
Ryan founded Bemiston to deliver the detail and rigor he learned in institutional investing—with the clarity and personal attention people deserve.
Before Bemiston, Ryan worked with institutional investment managers, investment consultants, and financial advisory firms in St. Louis. That experience shaped a disciplined, evidence-based approach to investing and a strong belief that a financial plan should be easy to follow.
Clients choose Ryan for his transparent fees, goal-oriented planning, and willingness to explain the “why” behind every recommendation. Meetings can happen in person in St. Louis or virtually across the country.
Away from the spreadsheets
St. Louis sports, local parks, and an ongoing taco search.
Ryan lives in St. Louis, where he stays busy with softball, sand volleyball, soccer, flag football, and just about any other excuse to be outside.
He is a devoted St. Louis Blues fan, an enthusiastic supporter of the city’s pizza and taco scene, and an Eagle Scout who helps with Swimming and Lifesaving Merit Badges when time allows.
Meet Ryan
Talk to a person, not a sales funnel.
The first meeting is simply a chance to talk through what’s on your mind and see if working together makes sense.
