Investment Management

Investment Team

ACM Wealth is unique in that our investment team is in-house,  experienced and accessible to you and your ACM wealth advisor.   We understand that investment selection and management requires experience, specific skills and time.

Our investment team is headed by nationally recognized economist and money manager Dr. Charles Lieberman and consists of former Wall Street, Federal Reserve and World Bank economists, academics, money managers, PhDs, CFAs and security analysts.

We look to exploit our economic expertise when determining our top-down direction for markets and the economy.  In the end, it is our bottom-up value approach of equity and fixed income security selection that rounds out our customized portfolios.

“First and foremost we are driven by value, broadly defined. We want to buy growth cheaply, using a contrarian’s approach focusing on value stocks that offer above average return prospects that aren’t reflected in the price.”

– Dr. Charles Lieberman, Co-founder and CIO
