MORAN, AIF®

Chairman │ CEO │ CIO

With more than 30 years’ experience in the financial services industry, Tom Moran is Chairman, CEO and CIO of Moran Wealth Management, an independent Registered Investment Advisory firm with a comprehensive team of more than 40 professionals.

Not all financial advisors are held to this standard.” In this new, expanded capacity, Moran Wealth Management® can provide an even broader array of investment solutions and services that meet the needs of high-net-worth individuals. This greater capability reflects Tom’s commitment to delivering the best, most comprehensive service possible.
