    Cameron Azad is a financial advisor within the UBS Wealth Management Group. He has more than 40 years of financial services experience and helps a select group of families and wealthy individuals manage all aspects of their finances: from equity and fixed income investments, to alternative, private, and tax-related investments.

    Cameron was part of a select group of individuals within UBS serving as a Prime Broker, with extensive experience in institutional sales and trading. As part of his duties, he serviced public and private pension funds, hedge funds, and other institutional investors, along with individual clients. Cameron is a FINRA-Registered General Securities Representative and also holds national futures, commodities, life insurance, and variable annuity licenses. Cameron gives back to his profession through his continuing service as a National Futures Association Arbitrator. As an arbitrator, he’s a part of a three-member panel, hearing and adjudicating financial disputes between clients and member firms. He feels this also gives him deeper insight into client needs.

    Outside of financial services, Cameron is an avid and well-known underwater and terrestrial nature photographer, having won and placed in national and international photography contests. His photographs have hung in national museums, and have graced the covers and pages of nature magazines. He travels extensively to remote locations in search of new and interesting subjects.

                              World Way Team leverages strategic thinking

                              Understanding your life, your wealth and what you want to accomplish is at the core of our practice. We'll discuss your goals, the people who are most important in your life and your vision for the future. Then we'll help you organize your financial life into three strategies: Liquidity—to help provide cash flow for short-term expenses, Longevity—for longer-term needs and Legacy—for needs that go beyond your own.

                              Timeframes may vary. Strategies are subject to individual client goals, objectives and suitability. This approach is not a promise or guarantee that wealth, or any financial results, can or will be achieved.
