WHO WE ARE
Martha Catt has been monitoring investment portfolios since 1987, when as Chief Operating Officer for the California Society of CPAs Group Insurance Trust, she experienced Black Monday first-hand a month after the Trust invested its $6.4 million rate stabilization reserve. This experience bolstered her Fortitude and Patience, so when you need a booster shot, she is ready.
Martha is a Certified Employee Benefit Specialist and is well-versed in North Carolina Statutory benefits thanks to her five years of service as Benefit Manager for The University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
She has been a licensed, registered representative and financial advisor to individuals since 2000. She started her own independent practice in 2012.
She holds the following SEC registrations: Series 6 (Registered Representative-Mutual Funds) Series 7 (General Securities Representative-Individual Stocks, Exchange-Traded Funds) Series 66 (Investment Advisory Representative-Managed Accounts) Series 63 (Blue Sky Laws) Life and Health, Long Term Care, and Securities licenses in the following states: North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Oregon, Colorado and Georgia.

Her daughter followed in her mother’s footsteps and did a Junior Year Abroad in England, where she now lives with her husband. You can meet her son Paul below.
