About Brett N. Fry, CFA, CFP®

When Brett Fry’s grandfather passed away 15 years ago, there were hundreds of people in attendance at his funeral; he was a very loved and respected man. Many people approached Brett and shared stories illustrating what a good man his grandfather was and how he had positively impacted them and the community. This experience taught him that what you do on a daily basis leaves a lasting impression on people.

As a result of this, and other lessons, Brett made the commitment to be an influence for good in the lives of others, to put relationships first, to always be honest and transparent in all his dealings, and to give 150% to everything he does. It’s these principles that inspire and drive Brett in his career as a financial planner.

For over a decade Brett has found great satisfaction in helping his clients create financial plans and strategies to eliminate the stress they feel concerning their financial futures. As the Managing Director in the Dallas Office of Forteris Wealth Management, Brett has a genuine desire to always do what’s best for his clients and help them achieve their goals, passions, and dreams.

Brett received his Bachelor’s Degree in Finance from Stephen F. Austin State University and a dual Master’s Degree in Finance and Personal Financial Planning from Texas Tech University. He earned his Certified Financial Planner and Chartered Financial Analyst designations in 2014 and 2017. Before becoming the Managing Director for Forteris Wealth, he worked for Altfest Personal Wealth Management and BNY Mellon in New York City.

Brett is also a member of the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA) and Fee Only Network. Brett is frequently quoted in media publications such as InvestmentNews, CNN, and the Bump.

In his free time, Brett enjoys spending time with friends and family, playing golf, and watching his beloved Cowboys and Texas Tech play football. He currently resides in Plano, Texas with his wife Janelle and daughter, who are his greatest support and inspiration.

Feb 4, 2026
When my husband and I approached a point in our lives that we had a young son, adequate savings and discretionary income, it became important to me to get professional guidance on investing that money in ways that met our short and long term goals. It was important to me to find a professional who would provide options far behind a 529 savings account for our son, 401ks for us and simple stock investment. We interviewed multiple professional and Brett stood far apart from every other business. Brett and his team provide the best customer service in the industry, always able to answer questions by our accountant or even one of us on a random weekday. He has tailored our savings plans to meet unique and ambitious goals for our family. He has offered diverse savings options for our son that even an accomplished accountant wasn’t aware of. He is invested in our financial success and works extremely hard to serve his clients. I don’t feel like a number or a paycheck, or like I’m being sold anything. Brett and his team have gone above and beyond every step of the way as our wealth manager for years now while his competitors are offering a fraction of the services and personalization he is.

Brett has managed our portfolio for several years, providing steady gains through his expert oversight. He is knowledgeable, well-trained, and communicates financial concepts clearly and patiently. Brett never makes us feel uncomfortable about asking questions, and his understanding of finance is impressive and reassuring. In short, a tremendous Financial Advisor.

Very pleased with Brett Fry and his team at Forteris!!!!

✅ Wealthtender Certified Advisor Review™

We have been with Brett and his team for several years. Brett did a fantastic job at navigating us through the retirement process (in the beginning) and has continued to provide top notch service to us for the past three years of actual retirement. Being somewhat of a "numbers person" myself, I often thought I could have managed retirement just fine without much assistance. However, my wife and I have learned that turning over this daunting responsibility to someone is has been one of the best decisions we have ever made. We have zero financial stress knowing that Brett and the rest of the Forteris group have our backs and are definitely looking out for our best interests.

Brett Fry has been our financial advisor for a little over a year. We are extremely pleased with his attention to detail, knowledge, and communication. Brett follows up with us on a regular basis and has positioned us for retirement at a risk level we are comfortable with. He has exceeded our expectations in every way and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a financial advisor.

Five-Star Experience

I recently began working with Brett, who is my first financial advisor, and the experience has been very positive. He is personable, professional, and communicates clearly. What I appreciate most is his ability to explain financial concepts in a way that’s easy to understand, especially for someone new to financial planning. He takes the time to answer questions thoroughly and makes the process feel approachable rather than overwhelming. I feel comfortable and confident moving forward under his guidance, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for knowledgeable and supportive financial advice.

Brett and the Forteris team are doing a wonderful job managing my portfolio. We started out this financial “journey” based upon not only my age and budget needs, but also taking into account my personal appetite for risk vs stable growth when it came to various types of investments. In each year to date ( which I think is now at least 6 years), Brett has managed to exceed all goals net of his fee. In addition to these great results, Brett is very responsive to any questions or other inquiries . I recommend Brett and the Forteris team with the highest possible recommendation I can give.
