About Us

History

The legacy of wealth management expertise extends three generations in the Stadum family.

Tom Stadum launched his own independent firm, he did it with the experience, insight, and learnings of an advisor raised on the importance of helping others navigate the complexities of stewarding family wealth.

Fjell Capital is a wealth management firm committed to helping families manage and protect their wealth by formulating thoughtful and thorough financial plans that account for asset management, retirement planning, wealth transfer, strategic philanthropy, exit planning, and tax and estate concerns.

Meaning of our name

Fjell - /fē’ ell, fy’ ell/

In the 1800s, many families left the hardships of Norway and settled in the Midwest and the Dakota Territory, believing that their sacrifices would make a way for a better life for themselves, their children and their children’s children.

Aligned with our own multi-generational heritage, we chose the name Fjell (mountain in Norwegian) to honor the strength, sacrifice and commitment they displayed in caring for their future.
