About Andrew Menachem

Andrew started his career in finance in 1995, shortly after his father passed away. At only 22, Andrew was the eldest of four kids and became the “man of house” by default. His father left the family significant assets, but Andrew and his mother were novice investors and made mistakes. They depended on Advisers that directed the family’s assets poorly and inevitably lost money. As a result, Andrew became immersed in financial planning. He studied voraciously and became an investment advisor, vowing to himself to help educate others first and foremost.

An author, speaker, educator, student and financier, Andrew holds professional designations as a Certified Investment Management Analyst® and Certified Wealth Strategist®, Global Sports and Entertainment Director, Lending Director, and and Family Wealth Director, and throughout his career has received numerous accolades including being recognized by Barron's Magazine as one of America’s Top 100 Advisors in 2011. He has penned finance columns and has been quoted in the Miami Herald’s Business Section, Barron’s, South Florida Business Journal, Caribbean Today, Florida Investor, Investment News, Social Affairs, Aventura News, South Florida Legal Guide, Florida Investor, and Bloomberg. He is a financial columnist for the Miami Herald and writes a wealth management column in its Business Monday section. Andrew has also produced a weekly radio program for Clear Channel Radio and is regularly interviewed by local and trade media.

Andrew earned a B.A. from The George Washington University, received his M.B.A from Nova Southeastern, and completed an IMCA at Wharton. He is currently a proud member of the Morgan Stanley Alternative Investment Advisory Council at Morgan Stanley. Outside of work, Andrew is an avid art collector, wine collector, and involved in various charitable organizations. He resides in Coral Gables, FL with his wife Shari, two sons Cooper and Jackson, and his dog Riley.
