About Us

Janet Conroy Kratz has over 25 years of experience in the financial services industry. Prior to founding her investment consultation practice, Kratz was a fully registered broker with Kidder, Peabody & Company. Her introduction into the industry was with Connecticut General Life Insurance Company where she implemented employee benefit plan programs. Janet Conroy Kratz has sat on both sides of the desk, understanding complex investment products and how they are sold. Today she uses that knowledge and experience, providing clients with sound investment advice that is consistent with their specific needs and objectives.

Founded in 1985 Janco Investment Counsel maintains a limited client base. While we handle accounts of any size, through an in-depth interview, we determine if Janco is the right fit for each individual’s needs and objectives. Our clients come from all walks of life and their knowledge and experience of investing varies as well. What they share is a desire to reach an objective and an understanding that their needs require more personal service than a broker can provide. Janco emphasizes an approach that limits risk and is focused on the end goal.
