Our Company History
Graybill, Bartz & Associates, Ltd., has been in the investment services business since 1969. In the early years, under the name of R.W. Graybill Ltd., Bob Graybill published an investment newsletter for investors. Over time, people who were impressed by the insights demonstrated in the investment letter approached him to manage their investments. By 1974, Bob was managing client's portfolios.
Sharing the same philosophy, integrity and commitment to clients, Steven Bartz and Bob Graybill joined forces in 1996. The company's name changed to reflect this strong partnership. Since then, Steve has directed the firm's Investment Management activities.
