Ryan Zabrowski, CFP, MSF

Having read more than 1,000 books on investing – and authored his own 500-page book in 2024 – Ryan’s disciplined investment strategy has long been inspired by the lessons of Warren Buffett, his teacher Benjamin Graham, and Nobel Laureates from Chicago, Columbia, Pennsylvania, and Yale Universities. As a result, Ryan favors owning sustainable, high-quality businesses and arbitrage strategies designed to profit, regardless of economic or interest rate direction.

Ryan’s career in finance began in 1994. Early on, he focused on financial analysis and financial statement analysis. Over the past 23 years, Ryan has worked in financial and investment management at Washington University Endowment, Morgan Stanley, and Merrill Lynch, before joining Krilogy in 2019.

Given his extensive investment knowledge and experience, Ryan has become an integral member of the firm’s Investment Committee, which manages Krilogy’s model investment portfolios. In this role, Ryan helps conduct investment research, voting on investment strategies and portfolio positions, monitoring fund performance, and analyzing market conditions.

GET RYAN’S BOOK – TIME AHEAD

Most important to Ryan, however, is sharing his insights and perspectives with his team’s clients. Experience tells him that clients who understand what they own and why are best able to minimize emotion and make fact-driven decisions that drive positive, long-term results.

Ryan’s rigorous and ongoing industry training allows him to provide clients with an extra measure of knowledge, in addition to requiring a fiduciary level of care.
