Kenneth J. Shapiro, FOC, CRPC

Senior Vice President–Wealth Management

Private Wealth Advisor

I have 20+ years experience advising ultra high net worth entrepreneurs and their families. I’m
co-founder of The Entrepreneurs Group, one of the largest advisory teams at UBS Private
Wealth, where I also am among a select group of advisors having earned the Family Office
Consultant designation.

My mission: navigating wealth's complexities to simplify and enrich your life.

My vision: to deliver to entrepreneurs and other families of substantial wealth, the investment
and wealth management experience and solutions of a global private bank with the exceptional
access and service of a boutique firm. Every day I strive to bring that vision to life. My deep
knowledge of investment, tax and estate planning issues is critical to helping our clients grow,
protect and preserve their wealth for generations.

My goal is to consistently deliver above and beyond your expectations, going the extra mile to
find the solution, the strategy and the opportunity for your family—especially when others have
given up trying.

There’s nothing more gratifying than to hear my clients say that our work together put their
family on the right path toward their goals. It liberates them to focus on their life and their family.

Our difference for entrepreneurs:
Prior to starting my career in private wealth management, I was in your shoes as a successful
entrepreneur and took public/sold various businesses I co-founded as well as my own family’s
70 year-old business. This gives me unique insight into many of the challenges and
opportunities you face, and enables me to provide value-added solutions pre- and post-exit that
help our team in our pursuit to preserve and conservatively grow your wealth.

I received my M.B.A. from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and a B.A.
from Brown University. I live in Westport, CT, enjoy travel, spending time with my two wonderful
sons and am dedicated to eradicating colorectal cancer.

Todd W. Ives, CFP, CEPA, CRPC

Senior Wealth Strategy Associate

Relationship Manager

Todd has several areas of focus for the team: financial planning, investment analysis and client management. Each client that wants a financial plan goes through in-depth goal setting, asset location, allocation, income, expense, estate and insurance analysis process that allows us to model how the future may play out for them and their families. This initiates more meaningful conversations about the future, what clients assets can do for them and keeps market movements in perspective of life goals.

Each client also has unique investments tailored to their needs, goals and risk appetite. Todd reviews all investments, meets with portfolio managers performing the team's due diligence, and risk assessment through the Aladdin software. The team continuously reviews all investments and doesn't subscribe to a single investment philosophy of all active or all passive. The right mix of investments for each client provides a balanced risk-adjusted return that lets clients sleep well at night.

Todd meets with clients regularly to review their portfolios, financial plans and any potential issues that may arise. Todd holds Series 7, 31 and 66 securities licenses, as well as CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®) and Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor (CRPC®) designations. He graduated from Bucknell University with a degree in Business Administration. He is also an avid supporter of his local NY sports teams, the Yankees and the Giants.
