We have been clients of Michael Tierney for over 15 years. Michael stays well attuned to the various market issues and specifically follows strategists who have proven track records and philosophies. His frequent news emails have been especially helpful in keeping us informed of market happenings with his ongoing thoughts and educating us. On a more personal note, Michael has always been easily approachable, encouraging us to call anytime to answer questions or entertain ideas. There have also been personal business visits during which we appreciate Michael’s warmth and friendliness. His assistants through the years have also been very helpful in handling any necessary matters.

Client of over 15 years

Avi Deutsch has managed our assets and helped us determine our financial future for nearly half a decade. His close attention to our particular investment needs is evident in the decisions and opportunities he makes available to us. Avi goes out of his way to connect us with his wider network when it makes sense, which has been invaluable. We are happy to be working with him and look forward to working together for many years to come.

Client since 2021

Avi and his team have functioned as a private office for me, extending my capacities by managing my personal wealth and advising me on anything finance-related. Whenever I pose a question to them or ask them to handle a task, I know that it will be done promptly with consistent communication, the utmost skill, and great integrity. I could not have hired a better team. I don’t know what I would have done without Avi. When a sudden liquidity event completely transformed the scale of my wealth, Avi was there to help me navigate all of the new questions and opportunities. My prior wealth plan went out the window, and I had to make decisions about investing, taxes, estate lawyers, risk, charitable donations, supporting my family, and even personal security. Avi helped me navigate all those things, connecting me with the best possible advisors and giving me the support I needed to make informed decisions.

Client since 2019
