Avidian Wealth Solutions Welcomes Highly Credentialed Wealth Manager, James McGinness
McGinness strengthens Avidian’s people-centric approach to wealth management with his diverse set of experiences for high-net-worth clients.
HOUSTON, Dec. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Avidian Wealth Solutions is excited to welcome James McGinness as their newest wealth advisor. “James will be responsible for developing and managing client relationships for high-net-worth individuals, endowments, and foundations, working to keep the line of communication open between Avidian and our clients,” says Chief Operating Officer Jim Atkinson.
“When you partner with a wealth manager, you’re entrusting them with your financial future,” says McGinness. “That relationship needs to be constantly nurtured to build that level of trust and that’s exactly how I approach my relationships with my clients.”
James earned a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Houston-Downtown and completed the Texas Trust School at Southern Methodist University. As a Series 63 and Series 65 license holder, James possesses a deep knowledge of the ethical practices and fiduciary obligations Avidian is built on.
“James has a tremendous depth of financial experience that has helped him deliver insight-driven solutions to clients throughout the course of his career,” said Avidian Chief Executive Officer Luke Patterson of McGinness’ credentials. “Pairing his remarkable financial knowledge with Avidian’s capabilities will allow us to refine and deepen our relationships with new and existing clients alike.”
Earlier in 2022, Avidian was named one of the 100 fastest-growing RIA firms in the United States featured by Citywire and named runner up for the fastest growing RIA firms in Texas. The firm started the 2022 financial year with $3.5 billion in assets under management. Since then, Avidian has continued to grow both its roster of talent and its total assets under management.
