Our Team
“Our Focus is on two things –
education and transparency.”
Connecting the Dots
Who We Are
Reagan Holloway is not an average independent portfolio management firm. Their job is not about the sale or the market gamble. It’s about a passion for impartially educating clients and connecting the dots in a complicated financial world. It’s about developing meaningful relationships where investors have direct access to their money through the Fidelity platform, and, just as important, direct access to the team. Working with Reagan Holloway is like buying a mutual fund where you get to read what the director of investments thinks, every week, with access to a personal concierge to answer your every question and coordinate your account management.
“I saw two clients today, so it’s like I taught two classes.”
– Keith Reagan, Sr.
The First Chapter
But the story that began 30 years ago when the partners were industry rookies – to earning the Wall Street Journal’s Five Star Wealth Management Award – isn’t typical. But typical isn’t a word used to describe Reagan Holloway – the firm, or its partners.
Keith Reagan, Sr. was an undergrad at William & Mary working with alumni, soliciting donations to the school. He did so well he was encouraged to transition into wealth management. Working for a large broker dealer, he studied portfolio management at The Wharton School of Business. And he learned a lot – chiefly that he was doing things wrong. The firm he worked for was sales oriented and paid transactional commissions. It sold what was popular at the time. It had hidden fees. So, Keith left that firm. He gave up the red tie and leather briefcase. He moved from a big house to eight acres in the country where his family organically gardens and raises chickens. And he joined the independent wealth management firm that is now Reagan Holloway.
“We're a trusted team who works with you personally, so much so that many times we become friends..”
– Christy Holloway
Doing it Their Way
Today, Keith is the company’s portfolio manager, and Christy Holloway, who holds her Series 7 and 66 securities licenses, is the relationship manager and front woman who carefully manages each client account. Their job descriptions are easy, they say – just nurture relationships with people and fiercely protect their assets. Reagan Holloway isn’t based in a wood-paneled office. The partners don’t wear suits or drive fancy cars. In fact, after beating cancer, Keith grew long hair and a beard – because, after chemotherapy treatments – he finally could. He admits it’s not the look of most Wall Street experts, but it fits him.
The team promises transparency, honesty, expertise and trust. They are a fee-based wealth management firm required to act as a fiduciary – meaning they put you first in every decision they make. There are no commissions. Keith, an academic who teaches a class related to the financial industry every semester at William and Mary with the Osher Institute, spends his time reading, watching, studying and analyzing the markets – publishing respected, data-driven findings that ultimately propel his portfolio management. Christy, who knows each client intimately, is the one who answers the phone, typically on the first ring. Clients consider her a friend. Together they have built something unique – a firm that offers custom portfolio management with partners who, when they meet with clients quarterly, spend as much time educating them about the intricacies of the market as they do reviewing their assets.
It’s not textbook but it works – very, very well.

We believe we are an important part of your life, and part of that means you are taken care of – no matter what.
Who We're
Here For
Our focus is to educate, putting you first in every decision and regularly reviewing assets with you – building strategies that fit your priorities and objectives.
“We don’t like convincing someone to buy anything. Instead, we explain why your account looks like it does, what your statement means and why we are reinvesting like we are. We discuss how The Federal Reserve really works or what is happening with interest rates. That’s how we work.”
