About Us

Our Firm

MTI Financial was founded in 1988 by Douglas Morey and Salah Tarraf with one goal in mind: providing high-quality investment services that best suit their clients. They both worked together previously at Investment Diversified Services (IDS) and saw an opportunity to create an independent investment firm with a focus on personalized service. Fast forward a few decades, and MTI now stands for Mission Talent and Integrity, reflecting the core values of our firm.

Over the years, MTI has expanded and evolved, but our commitment to personalized service has remained steadfast. We're proud to have helped individuals, families, and small businesses work toward their financial goals from our Edina location for over 30 years. We do this by maintaining our independent model, which means that our advisors are not restricted to selling products offered by our parent company or a small number of pre-selected providers. Instead, our advisors bring experience, stability, and independence to their practice to provide exceptional service and personalized investment advice.

The Cornerstones To Our Practice

Mission: We are committed to each client, their life and financial goals and the mission to help accomplish them.

Talent: We bring depth of research, risk analysis and years of experience in the financial markets to help guide our clients.

Integrity: For our clients to put their confidence and finances with us is a privilege. Our duty is to service our clients’ best interests.
