Mark D. Kinney, Certified Financial Planner ®(CFP) Practitioner
As the founder of Kinney Wealth, Inc., Mark’s focus is as it’s been since 1987 – addressing the unique challenges faced by those experiencing circumstances of “sudden wealth”….such as divorce, inheritance, business liquidations, and lump sum retirement plan distributions. By minimizing risk exposure to the daily turbulent financial markets through the use of highly disciplined quantitative strategies, combined with conservative non-market related investments, client retirement income can be achieved in a more sustainable, repeatable, and verifiable manner. With over 30 years experience, Mark’s insight into the universe of conservative and income generating investment options has been invaluable to those approaching or currently enjoying their retirement years.
At it’s core, our objective is” “To help families protect, grow, and reduce taxes on their wealth”
Prior to Establishing Kinney Wealth, Inc., Mark began his career in 1987 as a Municipal Securities Specialist in the OTC markets. Subsequently, he became an advisor with Prudential Preferred Financial Services Boston office, where his primary focus was estate preservation and business continuation strategies. As a result of this experience, he was recruited to manage the investment division of a regional New England bank. However, after witnessing first hand how the investment models employed by “establishment firms” were often in the best interest of the firms themselves, rather than the clients they served, he elected to launch his own practice in 1999, which is now known as Kinney Wealth, Inc.
Mark spearheads his coast-to-coast practice with clients across the country and says that virtual meetings are his best technological friend.
