Celebrating 50 years of changing lives for the better
Fifty years ago, in the pursuit of a better way to achieve wealth, Dick Desich embarked on a mission. He saw a gap in the investment world and founded a company that was not just a business, but a revolutionary path forward for investors seeking to achieve more with their retirement savings. What started in a humble office has now grown into a company with hundreds of dedicated employees and offices across Ohio, Illinois, South Dakota, and Florida.
In this mini documentary, Mr. Desich and his sons, Richard and Jeffrey, reflect on the company's extraordinary journey these past 50 years and what's yet to come for Equity Trust Company.
From that single transaction, [my father] really created an industry that 50 years later we lead and are involved in today.
