Who we are

Helping You Invest with Purpose Since 2014

Nexttrust Bank Group is an independent bank dedicated to helping individuals, families, and institutions navigate a constantly changing financial world. We manage a wide range of U.S. equity and fixed income strategies for corporations, nonprofits, foundations, family offices, and private investors.

What drives us is simple: delivering strong, consistent results while keeping risk in check—and doing it all with exceptional, personalized service.

Founded in 2014 by Tony Dagher, a Midwest native with a background in finance, Nexttrust Bank Group began by serving business owners and their employees. That entrepreneurial spirit is still at the heart of what we do today. We're proud to be an employee-owned firm built on timeless values: trust, integrity, accountability, and long-term thinking.

We don’t just manage money—we build relationships. Many of our clients have been with us for years, and we measure success by their confidence and results, not just returns.

We’d love to get to know you—and find out how we can help you build your financial future.

Who We Serve

Our Clients Are Special

At Nexttrust Bank Group, our clients come first. From individuals saving for the future to institutions seeking disciplined strategies, we work with people who value steady performance, clear communication, and a partner who understands their goals.

What we do is defined by the people we serve—and we’re proud to work with clients who trust us to manage what matters most to them.

Our Approach to Responsible Investing

We believe that smart investing considers more than just the numbers. Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors are increasingly shaping the financial health and long-term performance of companies—and we integrate these into our investment process.

Some industries are more affected than others, but the overall impact of ESG is growing fast. That’s why we continue to expand our research, adapt our strategies, and advocate for responsible corporate behavior—because what’s good for the world can also be good for your portfolio.

What Guides Us

ESG matters

Responsible business practices help companies—and portfolios—perform better in the long run.

The world is changing

A shift toward sustainability is creating real opportunities and risks, and we position our clients to take advantage of both.

Advocacy is part of our process

We believe in using our voice to push for progress that supports a stronger, more sustainable global economy.
