“I am excited to bring nearly a decade of institutional-level investment experience at a global asset manager to individuals and families,” he said.

Aside from the freedom offered by an independent firm, Ramapo Wealth’s commitment to diversity, approach to team-building, and ethical business practices also played a part in his decision to join, he said.
