Michael Martin is the Founder and Managing Partner of Marius Wealth Management, LLC. He is also a Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor (CRPC®), and writes a Financial Blog at MariusWealthBlog.

The firm is a boutique fee-only, investment advisory firm founded to serve the investment and retirement planning needs of individuals and families, senior level executives, and small businesses.

Michael brings with him the experience of the big Wall Street firms: Smith Barney and Wells Fargo Advisors, where he was a Vice President-Private Client Group, and Financial Advisor.

Drawing on his passion for the markets, and success and experience in serving his clients, it had long been Michael’s goal to launch his own investment advisory firm. Mike credits his years with big investment firms for providing the solid foundation, experience, and training needed to excel as a Financial Adviser on his clients’ behalf, in both good markets and bad. It also made him realize that as an independent investment advisor, he could more closely align his services with those of his clients, such as not having the pressure of producing commissions or fees.

Due to his knowledge and experience, Mike is a welcomed guest speaker at major corporations, community organizations and investment seminars, and has provided commentary for various major news sources including U.S. News & World Report, CNBC, and Investopedia.

Michael holds a Bachelor of Arts in Marketing and Management.  Mike has passed the Finra Series 7, 66 securities exams and holds a NYS Life, Health & Variable Annuity Agents License.

Michael is an active supporter of the American Heart Association and both the Manhattan and Riverhead Chambers of Commerce.  Michael resides in NYC and the North Fork, Long Island with his wife Becky and son Peter.  Outside of work, his interests include boating and motorcycling.  And, as an amateur photographer, Michael enjoys photographing seaside vistas and historic bridges.
