Understanding

In a business that is both humbling and exciting, it's gratifying when clients periodically comment that our work together has made a positive impact on their financial future. The experience, knowledge and battle scars that accrue since one starts as an investment advisor are necessary requisites for successful long-term client relationships.

My career began in Los Angeles shortly after college, eventually moving to Phoenix strictly as a lifestyle decision. My formal education was as an Economics major at Grinnell College and an MBA (honors) from the University of Illinois. UBS presented a flattering offer to join them in August, 2006 and it has been a successful union ever since. I'm extremely pleased that Tyson Tibshraeny decided to recently join and complement my practice. He possesses exceptional financial planning skills, has similar core investment philosophies and is integral to my longer term succession plans.

Professionally I've been selected for UBS' Directors Council consecutively for the last nine years and received similar recognition from my prior employer, Smith Barney. I've done guest lectures on portfolio management at the Stanford and University of Arizona business schools. These included discussions on option strategies to increase investor cash flow.

Giving back to the community has always been a personal priority. To that end, I served as president of Grinnell's southern California alumni association in LA and recently concluded a 12-year term on the John C. Lincoln Health network board. I've been active for over 20 years on Phoenix hospital boards, typically on the finance, endowment, development and planning committees. I performed similar roles for Temple Solel's board and continue to be an active member within the community. Currently, I also serve on the Fan Advisory Council for the Phoenix Suns basketball team.

In-depth financial planning and portfolio management is the core of our business practice. Almost all of my 30+ years' experience has been with UBS and its predecessor firm, Paine Webber. I've been awarded the industry's Certified Investment Analyst designation in wealth management and hold a business degree from Arizona State University. My goal is to deliver very personalized service by recognizing that individual risk tolerances, cash-flow needs and growth objectives all differ.  One size never fits all clients.  

I am experienced in the evaluation of money managers. Also, I am knowledgeable and experienced in investment strategies designed to create incremental cash flow for clients needing more retirement income. In my spare time, I enjoy golfing and hiking with my wife Becky.

Lori works exclusively with the Insight Partners team, supporting virtually all of our administrative, compliance and operational requirements. This includes and is not limited to the establishment of accounts, all asset transfers, online services and electronic communication preferences. Lori works hard to see that client requests are addressed professionally; and she takes great pride to see that we deliver optimum results in a timely manner.

Starting work with UBS in 1991, Lori was promoted to Assistant Operations Manager in 1995 at our Sun City office. After that branch was consolidated in 2002, she moved to our Scottsdale and then to this office. She has been working with Arnie and the team since early 2016 year as a Senior Client Service Associate. Lori has performed superbly, anticipating client needs and handling unexpected items with well-honed administrative skills.
