About Unified Trust Company
In the early 1980’s Dr. Gregory Kasten, Founder and CEO of Unified Trust, was a successful anesthesiologist. When it came time for his own financial planning he became dissatisfied with the investment advice he was getting so he began learning about investing and financial planning and, before long, he found himself helping his colleagues manage their portfolios.
Dr. Kasten's innovative ideas and analysis proved to be so successful that in 1985 he launched his own advisory business. Today Unified Trust Company, headquartered in Lexington, KY, helps investors manage over $4 billion in total assets.*
