Background

Established in 2019, RISE was started to help our friends and family members stay on track to achieve their financial and life goals with peace of mind. After a successful initial five years of proving our concept, we began offering our services and solutions to clients beyond just close friends and family. 

​​​

We are committed to providing fiduciary-driven advice and an industry leading caliber of white-glove client service. At the core, we take pride in fostering long-lasting and prosperous relationships with our clients, which commonly go far beyond just managing money and helping our clients plan their financial futures.

About Our Advisors

With over 20 years of industry and financial markets experience, our team provides a unique blend of strategic wealth management insight, foresight, and practical expertise to help you achieve your financial and life goals. 

Who We Serve

Financial planning, investment management, and estate planning that is entirely customized around you, your goals, and your life.

We partner with working professionals, business owners, retirees, pre-retirees, and multi-generation families to design clear, actionable financial plans and investment strategies that reflect your goals, responsibilities and legacy intent.

Working Professionals

Grow your wealth with structure and purpose

You’re at a critical wealth-building stage: higher earnings, equity compensation and more financial complexity. We build a personalized plan that aligns your career trajectory, benefits, and savings strategy so you can pursue promotion, mobility or entrepreneurship without sacrificing long-term goals.

  • Comprehensive financial planning and goal mapping

  • Old 401(k) rollovers and IRA consolidation

  • Executive compensation and RSU/stock option tax planning

  • Tax-efficient growth strategies and retirement plan optimization

Families

Control your wealth with multi-generational continuity

We work with affluent families and multi-generation households to create governance, tax-efficient estate structures, philanthropic planning and investment architectures that protect capital, educate heirs and steward values for the long term.

  • Multi-generational planning, trusts and family governance

  • Custom investment solutions and allocations

  • Family education, philanthropy and succession coordination

  • Estate tax minimization and planning

Retirees and Pre-Retirees

Design income, protect capital, preserve legacy

Transitioning into retirement changes priorities: predictable income, tax-sensitive distributions and legacy planning become primary. We create retirement income strategies that consider longevity, healthcare costs and the lifestyle you want while safeguarding wealth for heirs or causes you care about.

  • Retirement income and portfolio preservation strategies

  • Social Security and pension optimization

  • Estate coordination and legacy planning

Business Owners

Align your business and personal financial life

Business ownership requires a dual strategy: operational decisions and personal financial stewardship. We bridge that gap — from succession and exit planning to diversification and wealth preservation — so you capture enterprise value without exposing your personal plan to undue risk.

  • Cash-flow optimization and risk mitigation

  • Personal diversification and post-liquidity planning

  • 401(k) Plan Investment Advisory

RISE Investments is a proud member of the Lincoln Park Chamber of Commerce and is committed to supporting local businesses, professionals, and families throughout Lincoln Park and other Chicago communities.
