Everything We Do Starts With You.
At Argent, we bring an unbiased approach to protecting, managing and growing your wealth. With a wide array of fiduciary-based services and resources, our advisors are ready to sit down for a conversation to see how they can help you reach your goals.
Trust
Providing for the long-term financial needs of your family or organization means paying careful attention to your investments now and creating an investment management plan that survives you. At Argent Trust, we work with you to design and administer a plan to take care of your interests for many years to come.
Investment Management
Argent provides a broad range of investment advisory services to guide you in decisions related to estate planning, wealth management, retirement and more.
Oil & Gas
If oil and gas resources are present on a property, the land/mineral owner has a range of opportunities to generate wealth from exploration and development activities. While others are available to assist you with certain aspects of mineral (oil and gas) management, few can provide Argent’s expertise and comprehensive range of oil and gas services.
