About Ryan Zabrowski

If you think it’s challenging to read books on investing (which I have), imagine writing a 500-page book (which I just completed). “Time Ahead” is my way of sharing my investment knowledge and perspective – just as I have as an advisor for decades.MY CLIENTS SPAN GENERATIONS AND THE NATION’S GEOGRAPHY.They include prominent business owners, senior corporate executives and physicians who want to put their wealth and wishes to work. They appreciate that my disciplined investment strategy and success are inspired by the lessons of Warren Buffett, his teacher Benjamin Graham, and Nobel Laureates from Columbia, Pennsylvania, and Yale Universities.Early in my career, I focused on financial analysis and financial statement analysis. Since 2001, I have earned my stripes in financial and investment management at Washington University Endowment, Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, and Krilogy.WHAT DO I BELIEVE?• My team brings clients an exceptional level of complementary skillsets – from financial planning, investment and retirement planning, to succession planning, estate planning and tax services.• It is best for my clients to own sustainable, high-quality businesses and arbitrage strategies designed profit – regardless of economic or interest rate direction.• Clients who understand their portfolio strategy and holdings can make fact-driven decisions that drive positive, long-term results. Educating my clients is time very well spent.WHAT MAKES ME PROUD?• My rigorous academic and professional training. I hold The CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® (CFP®) designation, a B.S. degree in Finance in Investment and Portfolio Management from the University of Missouri, and a M.S. degree in Finance from the Edward S. Ageno School of Business at Golden Gate University. I am also a member of the Chartered Financial Analyst Institute.• Serving my country and saving it $3 million. As a former Noncommissioned Officer and Financial Budget Analyst in the United States Marine Corps, I earned the Good Conduct and National Defense medals, as well as the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medals for identifying and recouping more than $3 million in currency errors from the United Nations. My fellow Marines and I also managed all financial requirements to support the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force humanitarian, intelligence, and combat missions.• My awesome family – my wife, Heather, and our three daughters. We support charities that provide safety to women in danger, clean water to third world countries, and quality of life care for terminally ill children.
