As the chief market economist at AE Wealth Management, Tom Siomades brings a rare mix of portfolio management, financial markets knowledge and marketing savvy to help translate the complicated world of investing into everyday terms. Too often in an increasingly specialized world, people retreat to their areas of comfort and knowledge, but Tom strives to bridge that divide in a memorable and relatable manner through his writings and public speaking engagements.
With more than 35 years of industry experience, Tom joined AE Wealth Management in 2019 as its chief investment officer, where he worked with his team to provide independent financial advisers with solutions to help their clients meet their financial goals.
Upon graduation from the United States Military Academy at West Point, Tom served as an infantry officer in the U.S. Army. His military service helped inform his world view and developed the discipline and leadership skills he’d later bring to his career in finance. After his military service, Tom earned a master’s degree from Webster University and his CFA charter.
Tom’s specialties include asset allocation modeling, manager selection, due diligence, portfolio management, trading, product development, media spokesman and client relationship management.
Tom and his wife, LoriAnne, have a daughter, Sunday, and a son, Alexander. They reside in Leawood, Kansas.
