Our Story & Services

The Terzioglu Group brings together a wealth management team with over 138 years of combined financial services experience, market perspectives gleaned from roles in securities trading and research as well as an unsurpassed work ethic and commitment to their clients. Many of the team's clients have reached a level of wealth where principal preservation and income generation are primary objectives while the group continues to expand its services to individuals and families in the wealth accumulation phase of their lives, both in the Rochester area and across the country.

Three of the team's four Financial Advisors – Ahmet Terzioglu, Jeff Machiele and Michael Cregan – spent the early part of their careers at Merrill Lynch, while Paula Terzioglu joined Morgan Stanley in 2007. The team integrates complementary skill sets to provide a level of sophistication and care to clients typically reserved for institutional investors. As a Senior Portfolio Management Director, Ahmet runs the group's discretionary portfolio management relationships; as a former equity sales trader, Jeff applies his research skills to outside investment manager selection and due diligence; while Mike provides valuable insights as the team's insurance and annuities advisor.

The Terzioglu Group's affinity and experience in following the markets, which includes participating on daily morning calls and staying current on the latest Morgan Stanley research and related Wall Street forecasts, can provide you with a level of knowledge and guidance on stocks, bonds and alternatives rarely available to individual investors. These insights are supported by the commitment and passion of a long tenured client service team always available to answer your questions or requests.

Meet The Terzioglu Group

About Ahmet Terzioglu

Ahmet is a Senior Portfolio Management and Alternative Investments Director. Terzioglu translates to “son of a tailor,” a translation particularly apt in Ahmet’s case. Ahmet’s father, a tailor paid by piecework, knew all too well the value of meticulous attention to detail, measured results, and pursuit of the highest quality when creating custom suits. This ethic of excellence and virtue of hard work were not lost on his son. Ahmet continues the family tradition by tailoring custom financial solutions to each individual client, working hard to ensure every individual receives unparalleled service and results that help them achieve their goals.

Graduating from the University of Rochester with a degree in Economics, Ahmet started his career at Merrill Lynch moving to Morgan Stanley Smith Barney in 2002. The open architect platform at Morgan Stanley has given him tools to consistently refine and develop each client's portfolio, but as he consistently tells his clients, “I don’t work for Morgan Stanley, I work for you.”

Ahmet’s hard work for the past 35 years has been recognized by his numerous awards.

The Terzioglu Group is licensed in 44 states. Ahmet holds his Series 7 and 66 registrations as well as his New York State Life, Accident, and Health Insurance Licenses.

He has served on the board of the Mary M. Gooley Hemophilia Center as well as on its finance committee.

He currently resides in Pittsford, NY with a second home in Boston, MA.
