About David Rath, CMT, CFA
Hi, I'm David Rath. I joined Continuum Wealth Advisors in 2021 with over a decade of experience in the wealth management industry. Immediately, I knew this was the place for me.My role here is Chief Investment Officer, where I am responsible for investment research, portfolio oversight, and communication of our strategies. My passion for the market extends beyond working hours, and I am constantly looking to expand my base of knowledge. To that end, I am both a CFA Charterholder and a CMT Charterholder. Those two designations represent many hours of hard work and sacrifice in pursuit of my post-college education. I also hold a Bachelor of Science in Financial Economics from Binghamton University.
Everything I do is driven by the desire to provide the best possible client experience. You worked hard to save that money - my job is to make sure it, in turn, works hard for you.
When not in the office, I love spending time with my wife and two sons. The remaining "me time" is spent cheering for the NY Giants and NY Rangers, practicing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, reading, exercising, and skiing.
I always love to chat markets so don't hesitate to reach out to me: drath@contwealth.com

Tim Smith, Jen Henry, and the entire team at Continuum Wealth Advisors is wonderful! I have been a client for nearly 10 years and was recommended to Tim by a family member who was a client before Tim established Continuum Wealth. Investing and managing money can feel a little scary to me but Tim and his team always invest the time to answer my questions and understand my goals.

I became a client of Continuum after my husband passed away suddenly and I had no idea what to do. My brother is also a client so I felt safe. It’s very intimidating when you put your trust in someone with something that is so important. I am always made to feel comfortable and am treated with respect and concern with out
condescension. Any concerns I may have had were professionally explained, the concerns placated. All the people there are also welcoming and approachable. I am very happy with Continuum and recommend them with utmost confidence.

They take an interest not just in money but in your exact situation, where you want to go, how long you have to do it and then a plan is formed.! Presto, you have a team working for you and your future.

Very pleased with their professionalism. They always take the time to reach out not with his emails, but personal phone calls. They have taken the time to really learn about me my personal situation and my goals . During our time together, my life has gone through changes and they've always been there to reassess my needs and strategies. Always very welcoming to questions and very willing to offer honest advice with other investments I keep personally through my 50 years in business. I've had other financial consultants that don't come close to performing as well as continuum.

My wife and I have been working with Tim Smith and Continuum for approximately 20 years. We have been extremely pleased with the service and guidance that we have received from everyone at Continuum. Tim and staff are excellent at structuring portfolios to your short-term and long-term needs based on individual preferences, risk thresholds, and suggestions on their part. Above all, we have found Tim and the entire staff to exhibit the highest levels of honesty and integrity, which is of the utmost importance to us. We would highly recommend Tim Smith and Continuum, as financial advisors.

I began working with Tim Smith about 8 years ago never having met him prior our first meeting. I was met with a warm welcome, financial acceptance and professional courtesy I had never experienced. Our professional relationship progressed easily and I am very pleased with how my assets are managed, how routine business matters are handled and how one on one meetings are the norm. Continuum is a remarkable firm.

As I retired about 18 months ago my wife and I turned to Continuum to help manage our retirement income and savings based on recommendations from a friend. They have been a fantastic resource and provide timely guidance, support and service and easy access to funds. The whole staff is welcoming and professional and cater to individual needs while always keeping an eye on growing and protecting assets. It is a relief to not worry about our finances because we know they are in good hands with Tim and the rest of the team.

We have used Continuum Wealth Advisors for our financial planning for nearly 20 years. Tim Smith has always been a true professional and a great listener. Tim takes the time to get to know each client personally so as to anticipate an appropriate strategy for them. He knows and understands our goals and makes recommendations accordingly. The staff and other advisors at Continuum are all very personable, knowledgeable and efficient. It is truly a pleasure to deal with Continuum Wealth Advisors and we recommend them highly.

I have some competing goals. One goal is to use my resources to secure my future (i.e., make money). This goal competes with my unwillingness to learn the vagaries of the stock market and other investment opportunities. Happily, I have worked with Tim Smith and Continuum since their beginning days and through them I have managed to achieve both goals. I highly recommend them.

We Want Your Voice to be Heard
Wealthtender exists to help people discover trusted and authentic financial professionals and educators who may be a good fit based on their unique needs and circumstances.
Your honest reviews help people decide which financial professionals and educators may be best suited to their individual needs.
The majority of people trust reviews as much as personal recommendations, so what you write in your review should reflect your own opinion and experience.
Tips for Writing a Helpful Review
Be descriptive. Instead of just saying what you like or dislike, share why. What have you enjoyed most or least about your experience with the provider? Have they helped you overcome a difficult financial challenge or strengthened your knowledge about particular money matters? The more details, the better!
Be honest. Your rating and review should reflect your actual experience.
Stay relevant. Ensure your review is helpful to others by avoiding off-topic discussions or personal opinions not relevant to your direct experience.
Make your review easy to read. Reviews should be readable to others. Use proper grammar, avoid excessive capitalization or punctuation, and be sure to check your spelling.
Be yourself. Don’t post as, or pretend to be, someone else, and do not say you’re associated with a person or organization with which you are not.
Be nice. Don’t write abusive, hateful, threatening, or harassing content. Avoid personal threats, hate speech, obscenities, or inflammatory language.
Respect the privacy of others. Don’t post information that can be used to identify another individual or compromise their privacy.

If you suspect possible violations of our guidelines or believe a review is inappropriate, please email support@wealthtender.com with a link to the provider’s profile, indicating the review in question and the reason you believe it violates our guidelines.
