Judith Stojak
Associate Vice President, Investments

As an advisor with Raymond James & Associates, Judy specializes in educating her clients on effectively allocating their assets so they can reach their financial goals.  Judy puts her clients' needs and interests first by providing them with objective evaluations and advice.

Clients want to be well informed and comfortable with the decisions they make, as they plan their financial future.  Judy helps them understand the investment options available to them, so they can take an active role as they choose in working toward their financial goals. 

Judy specializes in wealth management and planning for retirement and long term care.  Prior to joining Raymond James in 1995, she was with H & R Block for 15 years, where she began as a tax preparer and became an instructor and assistant district manager.

For three years, Judy chaired the board of directors of the Arts Council of White Lake, and she continues to serve on several Arts Council committees.  Being part of this expanding, innovative organization has enabled her to meet fascinating people and take part in great arts and culture events in her home community.

Judy recently became involved in the Muskegon chapter of a new organization called One Hundred Plus Women Who Care, whose members provide grants to non-profit organizations in Muskegon County.

Judy loves spending time with her growing family of children and grandchildren and also enjoying gardening, caring for her menagerie of animals, taking nature walks and looking for wild flowers.  When the weather keeps her indoors, you'll find her cooking, entertaining, reading, knitting, and watching movies with her husband, Ted.

Asset allocation does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss.

Brett Burza
Financial Advisor

Brett serves his clients as a comprehensive financial advisor, integrating all aspects of their financial lives into a strategy that meets their unique needs.  Brett does that by understanding, first, what an individual or family wants to accomplish through investing.  From there, both he and the client design a plan they are comfortable with and that meets their goals.

Judy Stojak and Brett formed a partnership, Triangle Investment Group of Raymond James, earlier this year when they realized they had a lot in common in the way they work with clients.  They also recognized that their diverse backgrounds, investment philosophies and perspectives offer their clients a combination of knowledge and experience that is both deep and broad.

Brett and Judy chose the name of the partnership because it represents three key elements of a solid investment strategy:   plan, partner and perform.

Brett graduated from Northwood University with a Bachelors degree in accounting and a mathematics background and spent several years as a finance manager for an automotive company.  In 2005, Brett began working as a financial advisor for Raymond James, with a specialty in wealth management.

Brett resides in Grand Haven and has three wonderful boys.  When he's not studying the market, it's likely you'll find him playing ball with them.

About Raymond James

Raymond James is one of the largest independent financial services firms in the United States. Since its beginning in 1962, it has always been a different kind of company – embracing long-term planning and methodical decision-making while staying uncompromisingly client focused. When other firms were simply buying and selling stocks or mutual funds, Raymond James focused on financial planning to help individuals reach their goals. It was the first firm to pioneer that concept – and today it supports its advisors with access to a full range of comprehensive resources, helping them to do the same.

  • More than 5,400 financial advisors
  • 2 million client accounts
  • 2,400 locations (United States, Canada and abroad)
  • $268 billion in client assets
  • $35 billion managed by its subsidiary asset managers

Raymond James Financial was recently named the best full-service broker in the 2011 SmartMoney annual broker survey for the third time in four years – ranking above Edward Jones, Wells Fargo, UBS, Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney.
