About Attentive Investments
What We Do
Personal Investors
We begin our relationship with each customer by building a strong foundation of financial security, which provides a solid starting point for future growth.
We then implement an investing strategy which helps each client accomplish their individual goals, whether that's saving for college, tax-advantaged retirement accounts, or building wealth.
Our team constantly monitors and actively manages your investment portfolio to maximize returns in line with your individual risk tolerance.
As you reach different stages of your life, we'll consult with you to adjust and revise your investing plan to meet new goals and challenges.

Attentive Investments provides full management of employee benefit and retirement plans for our business clients. Working with both large and small companies, our services allow businesses to provide outstanding benefits to their employees with minimal management or cost overhead.

Our History
Mike Dalton founded his Independent Investment Advisory business originally in 1989 as part of an added service to his Accounting practice. In 2004 he formed Attentive Investment Managers in order to provide more specialized service for his clients. For 19 years, Mike and his associate Athena Stone worked together to manage investments for individual and business accounts.
In 2021, Mike reached his well-deserved retirement, and ownership of the firm transitioned to Athena while the name of the firm was changed to Attentive Investments. Today, Athena continues Mike's legacy of providing outstanding service to each of our clients and living up to our name of being Attentive!
