About Me
Michael Daly is a Financial Advisor, Certified Financial Planner (CFP®), Chartered Advisor in Philanthropy, Portfolio Management Director, and Family Wealth Advisor based in Albuquerque, NM. He was named a 2022, 2023, and 2024 Forbes Top Advisor in New Mexico, and was a member of the Director’s Club and President’s Club at Morgan Stanley.
Michael joined Dean Witter in 1995, bringing with him a wealth of experience gained from his previous roles as a public accountant, regional information systems director, and business system analyst.
Michael was born in Waterbury, CT, and raised in Rockville CT. He earned his B.S. in Business and Accounting from the University of Connecticut in 1984, and completed postgraduate work at the University of Arizona from 1987-1988.

Personal and professional experience has shown him every aspect of financial planning, goals, needs and priorities for individuals and appropriate strategic investing for institutions.

It is the empathetic, active listening to clients, their unique requirements and dreams.”
In addition to his professional achievements, Michael is also a dedicated husband and father. He has been married to his wife Linley for 30 years, and they have three children, Lauren, Ryan and Maya. Outside of work Michael enjoys working out aerobically, weight training, playing golf, and loves to travel.

Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of an exchange-traded fund (ETF) before investing. The prospectus contains this and other information about the ETF. To obtain a prospectus, contact your Financial Advisor or visit the ETF company’s website.
