Arun S

CFP®, CFA®

Palos Park, IL

Avenue 90

Arun understands the importance of details specific to each client, which includes tax efficiency, a fulfilling retirement, and legacy planning. He also realizes the importance of a client working with a professional on a consistent basis, rather than speaking to a different person each time the client calls an 800 number for support. As some individuals have an affinity for one sport or hobby over another, Arun has a strong affinity for finance. With 9+ years in wealth management, and another several in other industries prior to graduate school, Arun has a strong interest in financial planning and investing. Aside from his practical experience working directly with clients of all ages and backgrounds, Arun has an MBA in Finance from the University of Wisconsin – Madison. In Madison, he honed his technical skills, and then further developed them by obtaining the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation, which is considered to be the most rigorous set of exams in the financial industry. Whether looking for a combination of planning and investment management, or just one of those two, Avenue 90 is available to help.
