Managing Director
Barry Giske is the Managing Director and Founder of Fleet Wealth Management Group. Barry is responsible for the strategic and directional outlook of the firm with the vision of creating a truly world-class experience for his clients. Mr. Giske began his career in the securities industry in 2005 and has more than 15 years of experience as an investment professional. The early stages of Barry’s career in the financial services industry were impressive. Before starting Fleet Wealth Management, he held an executive management position at the AEGON Group, a well-known fortune 100 life Insurance company where the full array of financial planning products and services are available.
In 2007 Mr. Giske again expanded his expertise and concentrated on the Investment Advisory business. Barry quickly gravitated towards Investment Advisor International (IAI), AEGONS Registered Investment Advisory Company. Barry quickly rose thru the ranks to earn the position of the IAI Manhattan branch principal and marketing director. It was then that Mr. Giske realized the majority of his client’s risk appetites were not suitable for the buy-and-hold strategies they typically had invested in. Barry believes that effective portfolio management should mitigate market volatility to give investors peace of mind.
In November of 2008 Mr. Giske left the AGEON Group and formed Fleet Wealth Management Group which is affiliated with Fairport Capital, Inc. to be able to provide a larger array of financial services. In the later part of 2008 Mr. Giske assembled his investment team to develop suitable proprietary tactical investment strategies based on extensive quantitative and qualitative research. The development of Fleet’s proprietary risk-scaled products involves research, methodology selection, data collection and analysis, prototyping, back-testing, and performance monitoring. Fleet’s tactical strategies use our technical indicators to choose the best spots for entering and exiting markets, with the objective to deliver over the long run higher than market performance, with lower than market volatility
