Who Are we?
Founded in 1990 by Randall Shoker as Shoker Investment Counsel, Inc., Shoker Investments has been a fee-only money manager from its inception. After working as a stockbroker in the 1980’s, Randy sought out a better way to work with clients, one that didn’t create incentives to offer biased advice. By eliminating every form of compensation except for a fee paid directly by the client, Shoker Investments is free to provide objective counsel without deriving any benefit based on how your money is invested.
Randy Shoker
President and Chief Investment Officer
As the founder and President of Shoker Investments, Randy has been with the firm since the beginning in 1990. Starting his career in 1985 as a stockbroker, Randy disliked the implications of selling clients financial products, so he founded Shoker Investments as a fee-only money management firm.
Randy holds a bachelor’s degree from Miami University. He and his wife, Nancy, live in Oxford, Ohio and have four children and nine grandchildren. Some of his hobbies include building model ships, decorating birthday cakes for his grandkids, trap shooting, and tending to his garden and trees.

Anne graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Montclair State University, and currently lives in Hamilton, Ohio with her husband, Todd, and their son. In her free time, Anne enjoys spending time with family & friends, cooking & gardening.
