Derek Fontaine is Primeland's 401k and Stock Investment Specialist, based in Chicago, Illinois. With nearly a decade of experience in retirement planning, equity portfolio management, and digital asset integration, Derek is the go-to advisor for clients looking to make their retirement funds work significantly harder — or diversify their wealth across both stocks and crypto.
Before joining Primeland, Derek spent six years at a Chicago-based financial planning firm where he helped hundreds of clients optimize their retirement strategies, roll over underperforming 401k accounts, and build diversified portfolios that balanced growth with stability. His deep understanding of US retirement regulations and stock market dynamics makes him uniquely qualified to guide clients through the 401k rollover process.
Derek's approach is methodical and educational — he doesn't just tell clients what to do, he explains why, ensuring every client understands exactly how their money is working. His clients consistently describe him as thorough, patient, and results-driven.
