The Best Mediterranean Superyacht Itinerary for Summer 2026

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.

When I selected Mike Tierney (and Robertson Stephens) several years ago to assume responsibility for helping me manage my assets, I did so based on the recommendation of a friend whose judgment I trusted (who already had retained Mike), the reputation of the firm, and my decision to go with someone where I would be dealing directly with the advisor, not some large organization where I would be relegated to a junior officer for most of my interactions. What a smart decision I made. Mike continues to be a knowledgeable and thoughtful student of the market, a patient and available advisor, and a willing participant in regular and frequent conversations about the decisions that need to be made, the likely movements in the market, and the best way to achieve my (personal) goals. On top of that, he is a pleasure to deal with, always responsive to my concerns and needs, and his support staff carries out my requests and effects transfers/payments/analyses, etc., promptly as I request them. This may sound like hyperbole, but to my great pleasure, it is all fact.

After being introduced via trusted friends and neighbors, we have worked with Frank Corrado and team for over 10 years. The life transition we were facing was planning for our retirements. My husband and I have a seven-year age difference, so working with Frank, we established goals that reflected our greatest hopes for the future: paying off our mortgage by the time Sydney was 65, giving him financial freedom to return part-time to substitute teaching, while also helping me with a plan to retire from my full-time position in NYC when I turned 65. The mantra was always - how do we approach our portfolio in a way that allows us to sleep well at night and know that our savings will cover us for the remainder of our lives but would also allow for growth? Helping fund a grandchild's education, paying for two weddings, investing in the upkeep and upgrade of our beloved home of 30-plus years, ensuring plenty of funds to cover our love of travel, and devising strategic giving plans that supported our philanthropic goals were all reflected in our financial plan. Most importantly, Frank and his team are part of our family, committed to our well-being, going above and beyond to coordinate with our lawyer, insurance broker and even my mother's financial advisors! Frank believes in living your best life; he's committed to helping us ensure this is possible for our entire family.
