E. Vickers, a retired pastoral minister, Certified Financial Planner® and
experienced portfolio manager.
Morris served as an ordained minister for more than 35 years, including Minister of Education, Pastor and, for more than 14 years, Director of Missions of an association of 27 churches located in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. He began investing as a means of building his personal retirement account only to discover a second vocation in following the ebb and flow of funds within the financial markets.
In 1981, Morris received his Doctor of Ministry from Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Philadelphia, PA. His research thesis – Developing Materials to Enable Ministers to Evaluate Their Retirement Program Alternatives.
This understanding of the issues ministers faced in building retirement security for themselves and their families led Morris in new directions. In 1984, he achieved the Certified Financial Planner® designation and incorporated Financial Security Advisors, Inc. to offer investment assistance to ministers, their families and congregations.
Morris Vickers is a trusted resource to whom ministers, churches and individuals turn to for ideas and information about investing, personal money management and responsible use of money. His systematic investment approach reduces the potential for significant loss without reducing the potential for above average gains.
