About Michael Whitney

I have worked in the investment industry for over three decades. Unlike many planners and advisors, I provide clients with customized portfolios made up of individual stocks and bonds that our Boston based team select. In my opinion this is a better option for clients because it avoids the problem of fees on top of fees associated with using mutual funds and other products. We also can provide comprehensive financial planning so that a client's portfolio meets their goals and risk needs.

Work Experience
  • The most important thing to know about me is that I care about every client as a person. They are entrusting me with their savings. It is incumbent on me to get to know them as people, understand their goals and how they expect their wealth to enhance their lives.

    I started my career as a sell side analyst working on various technology sectors. I transitioned to the money management business and expanded my research skills to include all of the sectors in the S&P 500 and Fixed Income.

    Beyond that, my skill set broadened to include, providing the highest level of client service, financial planning as well as understanding and meeting the needs unique of each individual client that I serve. My clients know that I listen to them regarding their goals, hopes and dreams but also their fears. There is no one size fits all approach to helping a client to set and achieve their financial goals.
