Innovative Architects Designing Luxury Living for Ultra-High-Net-Worth Families

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.

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.

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.
