Mark works with high-net-worth individuals, businesses, institutions and charitable foundations, as well as athletes and entertainers who care about the goals they have for their future. He focuses on investors who are looking to make an impact through the use of an investment strategy that seeks to avoid certain investments in companies that do business in or with a U.S.-designated government sponsor of terrorism. Mark believes that there are at least several reasons why one would want to engage in Terror Free Investing. For some, it may be a desire to attempt to defund terrorist states or genocidal governments. For others, it could be an ethical objection to owning stock in companies that appear to partner with countries that threaten our security interests. For yet others, it might be a financial consideration to avoid the risks of investing in companies whose operations, reputation and share value may be exposed to significant risk by their business practices in those countries.
    Mark will work with you to learn about what matters most to you and your family, to drive the preparation and implementation of strategies that seek to create, grow and preserve your wealth. And Mark, Paul and their team support you throughout your lifetime, monitoring and tracking your progress toward your goals and making adjustments as needed to preserve wealth for the next generation.
