Stephen Kolano, CFA

Chief Investment Officer

As Chief Investment Officer, I lead the vision, strategy, and evolution of the firm’s investment platform – focused on delivering scalable, high-quality portfolio solutions that empower advisors and support the firm’s continued growth. My role centers on building a differentiated investment experience that combines institutional rigor with practical application across a diverse client base.

By aligning market insights, portfolio construction, and implementation capabilities, I work to ensure our platform remains both competitive and adaptable in a rapidly changing environment. A key priority is developing repeatable, outcome-oriented frameworks that enable advisors to efficiently deliver consistent results while meeting a broad range of client objectives.

This approach has played an important role in supporting the firm’s expansion. For example, during the onboarding of a new advisory team with complex, tax-sensitive portfolios, we implemented a structured transition strategy designed to preserve value and minimize tax impact. The process reinforced confidence in our platform and highlighted our ability to deliver sophisticated solutions at scale.

Before joining the firm, I worked with some of the world’s most sophisticated institutional investors, including sovereign wealth funds, pension plans, and family offices. These experiences shape my perspective in bringing institutional-quality thinking, risk management, and innovation into a growth-oriented advisory platform.

Outside of the office, I can be found most weekends on a sports field with my wife either watching or coaching one of our two sons. When time allows, I enjoy being outdoors, working in the yard, and listening to traditional Celtic folk music.
