Matthew Allgeyer
Managing Member
Matthew AllgeyerManaging Member
A double major who graduated at the top of his college class, Matthew has a deep passion for educating clients so they can make informed decisions that help give them the confidence to pursue their retirement dreams without worry.
Matthew is a math lover who enjoys people and solving issues. He has been helping his clients craft retirement solutions for more than two decades — ever since he and his father performed a detailed evaluation of his strengths, goals and future — and now is a dedicated and decorated professional who can offer both investment and insurance products.
As owner and managing member of Heise Advisory Group powered by FYRA Capital Management, Matthew is responsible for helping with all of the firm’s daily operations. That includes meeting with clients, reviewing portfolios, researching investments, evaluating risk, explaining the benefits of strategies and conversions, and offering advice on everything from cash flow and retirement solutions to estate plans.
Matthew teaches about Medicare, long-term care, veterans’ benefits, retirement planning and more to help people have a full understanding of issues, plans and recommendations. “I want clients to be aware and understand what we are doing for them before they make a decision,” he says. “My clients trust me, but I want them to make the decisions after understanding the pros and cons of the suggestions.”
Matthew graduated summa cum laude from Rockhurst University, where he was a double major in economics and marketing and also earned a minor in Spanish. He lived in Seville, Spain, for nine months while he was in college and speaks fluent Spanish.
A St. Louis resident, Matthew is the head of an investment committee for a local high school and also serves on the finance committee for a high school.
Matthew met his wonderful wife, Kacey, on a mission trip to Nicaragua. They are blessed with five children — all of them “overachievers and amazing” — and have another child on the way. “They are everything to me,” Matthew says.
Ken Heise
Founder & Financial Advisor
Ken Heise Managing Member
Ken’s dedication to helping others with their retirement and estate planning began when his own parents went through the process. There weren’t many options for them, and it was stressful to help them put a plan in place. Since starting in the financial services industry in 1990, Ken’s goal has been to reduce that stress for other families.
Ken’s personal mission is to give clients confidence about their finances and help them make informed decisions so they can enjoy their retirement years to the fullest. “This is a responsibility I take very seriously, and I treat every client as if they were my own mother and father. I am dedicated to building warm, friendly, lifelong relationships with our clients, and I take a sincere interest in their values, plans and dreams for the future.”
Ken is the host of the radio show “Your Retirement Highway™”, heard Sundays at 9:30 a.m. on KMOX 1120. Ken has also been quoted many times in Kiplinger regarding retirement issues.
