ABOUT ME
Financial knowledge should not be a privilege but a right to empower individuals to make informed decisions.
I’m Nick Russo, a financial advisor; after graduating with a degree in Finance from Seton Hall University, I’ve committed myself to making financial planning accessible and understandable for everyone. I believe that financial knowledge should not be a privilege but a right, empowering individuals to make informed decisions about their futures.
My journey into finance is fueled by a desire to demystify complex financial concepts and to provide clarity in what often feels like a daunting and complicated process.
Qualifications
I hold several licenses and registrations, including Life and Health, SIE, Series 7, and Series 66.
These credentials enable me to offer a comprehensive suite of financial services tailored to meet my client’s unique needs.
The financial degree I received from Seton Hall University (Go Pirates!) and my experience let me stay informed about the latest market trends and financial products, ensuring that my clients receive the best advice possible.
I continually seek opportunities for professional development to enhance my skills and provide greater value to those I serve. This commitment led me to join Allied Wealth Partners—founded in 1966 and recognized as an elite, independent wealth management firm in the New York/New Jersey metropolitan area.
My Approach
My approach is collaborative, down-to-earth, and client-first.
Just like mapping out a trip, financial planning isn’t always straightforward; it requires careful consideration of your current situation and future goals.
I use the GPS analogy to guide my clients: We start by identifying your current location—where you are financially—and then we establish your destination—where you want to be. Along the way, I provide clear directions and support to help you navigate any detours.
I aim to create a partnership built on trust, where you feel empowered to take charge of your financial future, knowing that I am here to support you every step.
Fun Facts
There is nothing I enjoy more than sports...period. Specifically, I’m a huge basketball fan with a soft spot for the Knicks.
The thrill of the game brings me immense joy, whether I’m watching a live game or discussing strategies with fellow fans. And yes, I find it completely acceptable to root for both the Mets and Yankees!
This love for sports reflects my competitive spirit and dedication, which I bring into my work as a financial advisor.
