Who We Serve
Different Lives Call for Different Plans
First PREMIER Investment Services works with people across South Dakota who are building, protecting, and using their assets and finances in different ways. Some are just beginning to save. Others are preparing to turn a lifetime of work into retirement income, carry a business forward, or take charge of their finances on their own. We take time to understand the life behind the numbers, then shape the planning and investment guidance around it.
Individuals & Multigenerational Families
Bring the Family’s Financial Picture Together
Family financial planning may include saving for college, supporting aging parents, preparing for retirement, and leaving an inheritance for loved ones. We help you consider all of your unique priorities together without treating every person or generation the same.
Depending on your family, guidance may include:
- Setting shared priorities while preserving individual goals
- Coordinating household, finances, education, retirement, and legacy planning
- Helping family members understand the plan and their role
Young Professionals

- Set realistic savings targets for retirement and other near- and long-term goals
- Put workplace benefits and investment accounts to work for your future
- Understand what you own without jargon or judgment
Pre-Retirees
Turn Years of Saving Into Retirement Income

Together, we can:
- Estimate the income your retirement may require
- Coordinate 401(k) rollovers and retirement accounts
- Compare timing strategies for retiring and claiming Social Security
Retirees
Enjoy the Retirement You’ve Earned
A retirement built around travel calls for a different income plan than one centered close to home and family. We learn how you expect to spend your time and money, then build around the retirement lifestyle you actually want to maintain.

Business Owners
Connect Business and Personal Finances

- Review retirement plan options for you and your employees
- Prepare for succession, a sale, or another exit strategy, and build a plan to help turn proceeds into lifetime income
Family Farms & Ag Operations

Working alongside you, we can help you:
- Coordinate household and farm finances
- Plan for income beyond active operation
