History

A History of Performance

Artesys got our start in 1987 when Bob Jones founded R.T. Jones Capital Equities Management, Inc. Since then, we’ve worked to help our clients meet their retirement and wealth management goals. We’ve always taken a different approach to investing – built on sound science, offensive and defensive strategies and insight on endless historical performance.

We take a lot of pride in the work that we do. So we’re happy to share some of our proudest moments. Take a look:
