Ed Barone, Wealth Manager, CFF at Evergreen Wealth Solutions. Ed is a seasoned wealth manager, with twenty years’ experience assisting affluent families and business owners with Liquidity Strategies, Investment Management, Business Succession, Legacy and Philanthropic Planning. He previously held the position of Vice President, Senior Client Advisor for Wilmington Trust, where he led a team of wealth and fiduciary professionals who provided investment management, legacy planning, and business succession strategies. Prior to that role, he worked with ING Financial Partners as an Investment Advisor for ten years. His professional and personal philosophy is shaped by the following quote by Bill Bullard, former Dean of Faculty at San Francisco University High School: “Opinion is really the lowest form of human knowledge. It requires no accountability, no understanding. The highest form of knowledge is Empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another’s world.”
I became a licensed health and life insurance agent in 1995 with the desire to help people protect their life’s work and to ensure their insurance coverage fits their needs and lifestyle. In 1998, I started a company focusing on a complete approach to helping individuals as well as business owner’s focus on multiple areas to be sure their lifestyle and future was protected. I realized, if I worked for only one insurance company, I would have to offer only their products to my clients even if they were not the best value or the best fit to my clients. By owning my own agency and utilizing multiple companies, I can truly find the products and services that makes the most sense to each client. I have found that most people want their trusted advisor to do the research for them and then offer the strongest products and services available, not just one product they happen to have.
Education is my Mantra. Reverse the old adage, What people don’t know will hurt them!
