    Purpose and passion

    Russ is the Chief Investment Officer of Ridge Crest Investment Partners, as well as one of its co-founders. He is a senior portfolio manager for the Portfolio Management Program—managing large-cap growth and high-yield equity portfolios. Russ brings his considerable expertise and passion to equity investing and advising clients on asset allocation suitable to their unique situations.

    A fascination with how companies grow

    Growing up, Russ was fascinated by the family portfolio his grandfather put together from a few shares of General Electric stock. His fascination grew into an interest in how businesses grow or fail over time. Russ graduated cum laude from Rutgers University with a B.A. in economics. He started his career in the financial services industry in 1977 as a Financial Advisor with Merrill Lynch. He added the role of Portfolio Manager at Oppenheimer. He joined UBS (then PaineWebber) in 1994, where he was a solo Financial Advisor. In 2000, he was joined by his partner and wife, Margaret Beal. Russ was appointed Managing Director, Investments, in 2012. He has taken part in the UBS pilot program for the Clinton Initiative, a mentoring program working with small business clients and women entrepreneurs. He also serves on the UBS Portfolio Management Council, an editorial advisory group for wealth management research.

    A family approach

    Mark takes a family approach to working with clients since making a meaningful impact on their financial lives often includes advice beyond investing. Mark's ultimate goal is to create a financial situation for clients that will help them lead happier and more fulfilling lives. His unique areas of focus on the team are alternative investments, trading-oriented clients and holistically managing clients' affairs.

    Twin passions

    Mark’s twin passions are financial services and helping others. Right from college, he sought work that fulfilled both of those passions. After graduating with a B.S. in business administration from Drexel University, he started his career with Shearson Lehman Brothers in 1992. Mark then joined UBS in 2005. In 2010, he completed the UBS Wealth Management Education program and attained the designation of Private Wealth Advisor. Mark holds the Series 3, 7, 63 and 65 securities licenses and is insurance-licensed.

    Charitable work and family

    Mark is Co-President and Treasurer of the Jack Martin Fund, a charitable organization that supports the Pediatric Hematology & Oncology Division at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City. He lives in Naples, FL with his wife Nicole. They have two college aged children, daughter Dylan and son Ryan. Mark is an avid scuba diver.

In some cases, it can take five years or more to exit a business, so proper planning needs to begin early. Given the complexity and potential professional, personal and financial consequences of a sale, we believe you shouldn’t make your decision alone.

                                                                                                                    Prior to your transaction, we help you develop a personalized strategy that includes important estate planning considerations that can impact your long-term goals and the next generation, post-sale.
