About Me
Hi, I'm Russell E. Glickstern. With over 36 years of experience in the financial industry, I am passionate about helping generations of clients pursue their financial goals. As a Wealth Management Advisor and LPL Financial Representative, I offer independent and personalized investment strategies that address risk and opportunities in any market condition.
My core competencies include retirement planning and income strategies, women's financial strategies, estate planning strategies, retirement plan distribution, 401K and IRA allocation, and wealth preservation strategies. Many of my clients are working in healthcare, and education, and retirees from from Westchester County and city/local town agencies.
As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®), I adhere to the high standard of excellence and ethics requirements set forth by the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards.
I want my clients to feel secure and comfortable working with the owner of a locally-owned business, who's family grew up in Westchester, and who has been an active part of the community...and someone who is open-minded, flexible and always acts in the client's best interests.
I work closely with my clients and their families to provide portfolio reviews, asset reallocations, and trust services through The Private Trust Company N.A., an affiliate of LPL Financial.
I am honored to have received the Five Star Wealth Advisor Award for multiple years, which reflects my commitment to professional excellence and client satisfaction.
On a personal note, I earned my Bachelor of Science degree from St. John’s University. I have lived in Westchester for 27 years, with my wife, Susan, and our two children. I am a Yankees fan and an avid golfer (17 handicap). My mother and brother live in Florida where I spend a lot of time visiting with family and playing golf.
I'm active in numerous industry community organizations, including membership in the Business Council of Westchester, the Financial Planning Association (FPA) and as a designee for the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc.
