While an undergraduate at the University of Texas, Eric Shaffer, CFP®, forged his unique path into the world of finance. After graduating from the University of Texas, he realized his passion for financial planning was a career he wanted to pursue. Eric’s multidisciplinary background remains central to his investment practices. Investments, he explains, are not always about immediate gain. “Historical perspective is key. Long-term planning, seeing the world through a historical eye, allows me to stay even-keeled and play the long game.”
