A former divisional sales manager at Vanguard, Tini will join RWM on January 1, 2023. At Vanguard, Tini was a critical part of the leadership team that oversaw the firm’s RIA Business. He brings more than 20 years of RIA and asset management experience to his new position, having earlier served as a director at global asset management firm AllianceBernstein.

“This team does not need me to come in and help them grow the business; they have that well in hand,” said Tini. “They’ve assembled an amazing content and thought leadership empire, backed by sound behavioral investment advice that doesn’t require an advanced degree in finance to understand. I believe I can add value as an operator, freeing the team to achieve the best possible outcomes for clients and strategically build toward the future. My primary goal is to preserve and build upon the identity, fabric and culture of the firm that the partners have built.”

“As our business has grown, so too has the opportunity set. Bringing on a proven leader who understands what makes our firm special was the natural next step,” said Brown, who writes daily at The Reformed Broker. “Jay will be focused on the critical operational areas of the firm while the rest of us focus on our strengths and serving our clients.”

Tini holds an MBA from Drexel University’s LeBow College of Business and a B.S. in Finance from Boston College. At RWM, he will be tasked with day-to-day management of the firm’s operations, thus providing the founding partners an opportunity to do what they do best – offer insightful market commentary, analysis, perspective, financial advice and investment management.

Ritholtz adds: “It takes time to build trust and we’re not an easy group to impress. Jay has been a good friend for a long time. We are a close-knit family doing what we love and enjoying every minute of it. He’ll fit right in.”

“Our firm has been philosophically aligned with Vanguard since the beginning. It’s one of the firms in our industry we admire most. Jay’s experience and relationships will help us continue on this path,” concludes Brown.
