Experience

Makes all the difference

At PWM we have brought together a team of seasoned professionals who complement one another with their individual skills. In this capacity, there is an interchange of ideas using our years of experience to bring one result to our clients-your financial success. We seek a deep understanding of your needs, concerns and aspirations in addition to your experiences with investments and your risk tolerance. We believe in the random walk theory: that past movement of the overall market cannot be used to predict its future, and that the market is efficient and difficult to outperform. As a result, our portfolio management style focuses on using index-driven models to reduce costs and the risks of active management. Servicing clients from two branch offices-Florham Park, NJ and Charleston, South Carolina-we are committed to your long-term success and strive every day to ensure your wealth stays aligned with your values and goals.
