Nathen Christensen

Meet Nathen.

Nathen Christensen is a Wealth Advisor with LPL Financial.

I’ve been working in financial services since 2016. I am passionate about my role in helping members work toward their financial goals through smart financial decisions at every stage of life. I also love providing that sense of relief that they’re not going at it alone.

My philosophy on investing and financial advising is that it’s my job to help manage the member’s expectations and emotions by assessing their financial objectives and goals. I work with everyone from young families to retirees, and look forward to working with you.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family – my wife, Kayla; sons Rowen and Asher; and dog, Benny – as well as golfing, fishing, and hunting throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Ask me anything.

What is the investing question you get asked most often?
How much should I have saved for retirement. The answer? There’s no magic number! This is why it’s important to work with a financial advisor, because what each person needs will vary widely based on several factors.
On average, how much of my paycheck should go to retirement?
I encourage my clients to save between 10-15% of their income toward retirement, although it can vary based on their overall financial situation.
How often should an advisor update their clients?
The frequency can change based on the client’s needs, but at a minimum you should meet with your advisor once a year.

Guided Wealth Portfolios is a centrally managed investment program sponsored by LPL Financial LLC (LPL). GWP generates investment recommendations based upon model portfolios constructed by LPL. If you are receiving advisory services in GWP from a separately registered investment advisor firm other than LPL, LPL is not an affiliate of such advisor. LPL investment advisors are registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and LPL is also a Member FINRA/SIPC.

All investing involves risk including loss of principal.

No strategy assures success or protects against loss. There is no guarantee that a diversified portfolio will enhance overall returns or outperform a non-diversified portfolio. Diversification does not protect against market risk.

An investment in Exchange Traded Funds (ETF), structured as a mutual fund or unit investment trust, involves the risk of losing money and should be considered as part of an overall program, not a complete investment program. An investment in ETFs involves additional risks such as non-diversification, price volatility, competitive industry pressure, international political and economic developments, possible trading halts, and index tracking errors.

An annual small account fee is applied to accounts with less than $10,000 invested.
