Ashley Previs

Ashley Fancher is a partner and senior wealth manager at Garde Capital, a Seattle-based registered investment adviser. Garde’s team page says her work focuses on helping individuals and families financially succeed, with wealth-management solutions addressing preservation of wealth, tax mitigation, heirs, asset protection, and charitable giving.

Before and alongside her wealth-management career, Fancher built more than 10 years of direct real-estate development experience in the greater Seattle area. Garde says that experience, including seeing family real-estate developers face severe hardship during the financial crisis, shaped her motivation to help clients regain and protect financial security. Third-party work-history profiles also connect her to Veritas Development, Veritas Construction, Seavestco, and Wellington Hills Development.

At Garde, she also serves corporate retirement-plan clients: the firm states that she is a fiduciary to corporate retirement plans, helps plan sponsors manage 401(k)s, and assists employees with retirement planning. Her education includes an MBA from Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business and a BA from the University of Washington; she also holds the Certified Divorce Financial Analyst credential and Series 65 certification. A Duke Fuqua article from 2017 identifies Ashley Previs as part of the Women in Business Club leadership board, consistent with the Garde email and image filename using the Previs name.

• Garde Capital is not presented publicly as an angel or seed venture investor. Public sources support a wealth-management and retirement-plan advisory profile, not a startup-investing mandate.
• Garde’s private-wealth approach starts with a discovery session to understand a client’s “complete personal and financial picture,” then builds a custom financial framework around the client and family.
• Portfolio work is framed around aligning investments with a client’s values, goals, and risk profile, using “carefully informed and responsive strategies.”
• For retirement plans, Garde emphasizes index-based investing, diversification, low costs, simplified implementation, academically grounded investment options, and fiduciary education.
• Fancher’s stated client focus includes wealth preservation, tax mitigation, heirs, protection from unjust loss, and charitable giving.
