Intellectual capital with results.™
YOUR FUTURE. OUR TEAM.
Forward-Looking Asset Management. Not Portfolio Autopilot.
Traditional wealth management relies on static models that own a little bit of everything, all the time. AWAIM is a global macro firm built for a dynamic world. We provide sophisticated investors with tactical multi-asset strategies obsessed with forward-looking risk management. This disciplined approach is driven by proprietary economic research cited by the U.S. Congressional Research Service and proven by our independently verified track record.
As Seen, Read, and Heard On...
Our insights on economics, capital markets, and the financial advisory industry have been shared in business publications and TV/Radio globally.
Jonas Lee, Founding Partner
"Over 40 years as a trusted advisor, I have guided clients through virtually every major financial milestone, from complex business exit strategies to legacy estate planning. At AWAIM, we marry that deep, holistic planning with institutional-grade asset management, ensuring your entire financial life is fully aligned and optimized for long-term success."
Jacob Weston, Managing Director & Portfolio Manager
"Our focus is entirely on translating deep macroeconomic insights into practical portfolio actions. By actively assessing global data and its real-world implications, we strive to continually insulated your investments against shifting risks. This is financial advice at its most relevant and proactive."
Ivan Illán, Founder & Chief Investment Officer
"Static, 'set-it-and-forget-it' portfolios fail to account for building risks across global economic cycles. To achieve truly successful outcomes, clients require a dynamic approach where investment management and long-term financial planning are fundamentally linked—actively adjusting today for what lies ahead."
