Our Story and Services

At The Grande-Antonitis Group, we are trusted for our ability to navigate the complexities that accompany significant wealth – particularly during pivotal financial moments. Our clients span multiple generations and geographies and include senior executives, business owners, founders, entrepreneurs with concentrated equity positions, and attorneys at leading firms.

Our work encompasses the full arc of wealth planning, from pre- and post-liquidity strategies to legacy and estate considerations, as well as thoughtful management of concentrated stock and diversified portfolios. Drawing on decades of experience, we deliver proactive, highly personalized guidance – often at a level of engagement that exceeds expectations.

Clarity Amid Complexity

While many client situations require sophisticated solutions, our priority is to help make decisions understandable and actionable. We emphasize clear communication, striving to provide clients with explanations that are simple and straightforward – reflecting our belief in transparency and accountability. This approach is supported by the specialized training of our advisors, including professionals who hold the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER®(CFP®) designation and Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA®) designations.

We are a seasoned team that has guided clients amid the volatility of 1987, 2000, 2008, 2020 and 2022, which we believe this reflects our disciplined approach to risk management and long-term planning.

Collaboration to Enhance Outcomes

We take a coordinated approach to wealth management, working closely not only as a team but also alongside clients' CPAs and attorneys when appropriate. This collaboration helps align investment, tax, and estate planning strategies to support efficient wealth transfer and more optimal outcomes.

Motivated by the ambition and integrity of clients, we are honored to assist accomplished people who wish to accomplish more.

About Me

Richard's longevity in the industry has taught him the value of planning, process and discipline. Throughout his distinguished career—which began in 1975—he has helped a blue-chip clientele navigate turbulent and booming markets, and key inflection points in their financial journeys.

Today, Richard builds on his decades of experience to help clients take a rational and realistic approach to their wealth and expectations. He draws upon an array of competencies, and those of his colleagues, to create and implement customized strategies on their behalf. In each client relationship, he emphasizes the importance of delivering clear and timely advice and guidance—emblematic of the team's boutique-like offering.

To provide strong, risk-adjusted returns for clients across market cycles, Richard builds and manages each client's portfolio using equity, fixed income and derivative investments. He crafts and adjusts asset allocation using sophisticated models and selects from asset managers who are among the best in their class.

Before joining J.P. Morgan, Richard held a similar title at First Republic. Prior to that, he was a Senior Vice President and Financial Advisor at Morgan Stanley. He launched his career at Kidder, Peabody & Co./PaineWebber.
