Andrew Joins NYSE Closing Bell Ceremony and Earns National Recognition

We are proud to share that Andrew had the distinct honor of participating in the closing bell ceremony at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on August 21, 2024. This marked Andrew’s fourth time taking part in this prestigious tradition, but he emphasized that the experience remains just as special each time.

The NYSE, widely considered the heart of the global financial industry, stands as a symbol of market excellence, making every invitation a true honor.

During his time in New York, Andrew also had the privilege of reconnecting with the esteemed Dr. Roger G. Ibbotson, Professor Emeritus in Practice of Finance at the Yale School of Management. Dr. Ibbotson is a leading authority in the fields of asset allocation, capital market returns, and global investing. He is widely known for his groundbreaking work on the development of financial models that shape the modern investment landscape, including the iconic “Ibbotson Charts,” which track historical returns of major asset classes. Andrew last met with Dr. Ibbotson in 2019, and they took the opportunity to reminisce about their previous meeting. Dr. Ibbotson humorously suggested, “We need to keep this going and meet every five years, comparing our pictures over time. So far, I think we’re doing okay!” Check out these photos below, five years apart!

This event was hosted by Annexus, a leading innovator in the financial services industry, specializing in advanced retirement and investment solutions, including fixed indexed annuities and indexed universal life insurance, designed in collaboration with top economists to provide growth potential and protection for clients’ wealth. As one of the industry’s most respected firms, it was a great honor for Andrew to receive an award from Annexus during his New York visit in recognition of being named one of the top financial advisors in the country. We are thrilled to celebrate his continued success and achievements.
