Asif has 25 years of experience understanding high net worth clients’ unique requirements for separately managed accounts while advising on asset allocation and helping the next generation education efforts.  His investment philosophy based on understanding companies’ business models and sustainable competitive advantage was developed while covering technology stocks in the pre dot com boom period of the late 1990s.  Asif’s appreciation of business and product life cycles was successfully stress tested through navigating the dot com bubble and the subsequent recovery, managing through the global financial crisis and the following decade of slow economic expansion and the recent tumultuous pandemic environment.

Asif graduated as a Weidler Scholar from the Ohio State University with an MBA in Finance and is a CFA charterholder.  He is an avid squash player and enjoys volunteering time for his kids’ soccer and debate team.
