Lindsey-Marie Ludtke

Wealth Management Associate - U.S. Bancorp Investments

It is my pleasure to serve the financial needs of people in Madison and the surrounding area. My experience in the financial industry started in 2023 and I became a Wealth Management Associate in 2023.

I want to make managing your finances as easy as possible for you. As your financial associate, I will work with your U.S. Bancorp Investment Wealth Management Advisor and your Wealth Management Banker from our affiliate U.S. Bank in bringing you a holistic approach to financial management. We will collaborate to understand your financial situation and propose personalized strategies to help you work toward your financial goals.

In my free time, I enjoy traveling and trying new food. I try to spend as much time outside as I can, but rainy or snowy days are perfect for podcasts and crafting.

FAQ

The role of a financial advisor can go beyond investment planning. An advisor can also provide guidance for key moments throughout your life. Perhaps your finances have gotten more complex, and you’d like help creating or adjusting your wealth plan. You may be worried how market changes are affecting your investments. Or you’re experiencing a major life event, such as:

Getting married or divorced
Having a child
Starting a new career
Receiving an inheritance
Buying a house
Nearing retirement

An advisor can help you objectively assess where you are financially and how to prepare for the future as you work toward your goals.

Your advisor will ask about your goals and priorities – where you’re at today, financially, and where you'd like to go. But the main topic of conversation will be whatever’s on your mind. You can discuss how you and your advisor will work together, what you can expect from your advisor, any costs if you decide to move forward, and next steps. You’ll have plenty of time to ask questions, to help you decide if the relationship is the right fit.

No, your initial consultation is free.

We’ll confirm with you what materials, such as recent bank and financial statements, may be helpful for understanding your financial picture. But it’s your choice what to bring. To help you decide – and to ensure you get the most out of the conversation with your advisor – consider the following before the meeting:

What are your most important financial goals?
What concerns you about your finances?
Did you recently experience a major life event?

We’re happy to meet with you virtually or in person. It’s up to you.
