Ray Evans, CFP®, AIF® | SENIOR PARTNER
Ray set out to create a unique and personal approach to wealth management when he founded Pegasus Capital Management more than 30 years ago. His dissatisfaction with the one size fits all approach in his industry lead to the creation of a firm that brings together a customized team of specialists. Today, Ray serves high net-worth clients and their families offering a suite of services to help those families and businesses reach their objectives.
Ray received a BS in business and a MBA from the University of Kansas. As an alumnus, Ray is a big supporter of the University of Kansas where he currently serves as a trustee on the board of the KU Endowment. He also serves on the advisory boards for KU’s Edwards campus and for the KU Medical Center Cancer Partners. He is also the past chairman of the National Board of Directors for University of Kansas Alumni Association. Ray was honored with the Ellsworth Medallion Award by the KU Alumni Association for all his work for the university.
He also supports many charitable organizations including Catholic Education Foundation, Higher Impact and the Keith Worthington Chapter of the ALS Association.
In addition, Ray adds the title of author to his many roles. He has written articles for the Kansas City Business Journal and Wealth Resources and contributed to the book You Can’t Afford the School of Hard Knocks.
