Apr 22, 2025 | Company Updates

Colton Groome’s 2024 Annual Report is now available!

We can’t help but be shaped by the events of 2024. September 27th, 2024 is a day that changed all of our lives—forever. The impact of Hurricane Helene in Western North Carolina and surrounding areas was profound and far-reaching. In the aftermath, the mountain people proved strong and resilient. The resilience and solidarity of the people of Western North Carolina shines through as we continue to rebuild and support one another. The recovery efforts are ongoing, but the spirit of the community remains unbroken.

Despite the challenges, there were still significant accomplishments in our business. Favorable economic conditions fueled strong equity returns while favorable money market rates provided returns for those holding cash alternatives. This upcoming year marks the 75th anniversary of our firm. Thank you to all of our past and current clients for trusting the CG team to steward your finances.
