    Our belief is wealth management should be personal, strategic, and entirely customized to guide you through every stage of success.

    Grounded in the belief that wealth management should be personal, strategic, and entirely customized, we guide families and founders through every stage of success.

    our STORY

    At Matriarch, we believe success is best when shared.

    Matriarch Wealth Management is built on the legacy of Nonna’s Garden, a foundation established in honor of our grandmother—our matriarch—which supports Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Our family’s motto has always been, “Success is best when shared.” Nonna’s Garden and its contributions to MSKCC exemplify that ethos, and both are extremely important to the firm. We hope our association with Nonna’s Garden inspires clients to realize their definition of success.

    The Matriarch Family with Nonna
    OUR PROMISE

    As an SEC-Registered Investment Advisor and fee-only fiduciary, we approach every relationship through collaboration, transparency, and trust. Our promise is simple: clients deserve advisors who sit beside them — partners fully aligned in their success.

    An Extension of Matriarch - Mike repole

    Private Investment Access + Deal Flow

    At Matriarch, our advantage lies in our expertise, access, and experience in private market investing. What truly sets us apart is our family connection with billionaire entrepreneur Mike Repole and his family office, Driven Capital Management.

    Mike was co-founder of Glacéau (vitaminwater, smartwater) and BODYARMOR Sports Drink. He has been instrumental in building iconic consumer brands including Pirate’s Booty, KIND, NOBULL, JUNKLESS, and Public Rec.

    Through this partnership, Matriarch clients gain access to institutional caliber deal flow, industry insights, and opportunities to invest alongside elite operators and investors — advantages typically reserved for large family offices and institutions, but delivered with the personal, boutique touch that defines Matriarch Wealth Management.

    Steve and Mike Repole
    Our investment philosophy

    The Endowment + Foundation Model

    Inspired by the same approach used by leading university endowments and charitable foundations, our investment framework focuses on long-term growth, stability, and risk management. By combining public and private market exposure with thoughtful diversification, we aim to deliver consistent performance across market cycles — structured through three key portfolio buckets: Liquidity, Core, and Growth

    View our Resources Guide

    Liquidity

    The Liquidity bucket is designed to fund 1–3 years of expected cash needs while preserving capital stability. We maintain daily liquidity and low volatility through strategic exposure to treasuries, short-term corporate bonds, and high quality fixed income funds. We targe returns modestly above cash and inflation. This allocation provides flexibility and confidence, ensuring near term obligations are always met without disrupting long term investments.

    Core

    The Core bucket serves as the foundation of the portfolio - a diversified, liquid allocation designed with a five year horizon to drive consistent, after tax growth. This is where we seek to generate meaningful tax-alpha through strategic tax-loss harvesting, income optimization, and the use of growth and income oriented structured products. Core holdings typically include high quality equities, municipal bonds, and other tax efficient vehicles targeting equity like returns over the full market cycle.

    Growth

    The Growth bucket represents the long term engine of wealth creation. A more illiquid allocation with an 8+ year horizon designed to build and preserve capital across generations. By investing in private equity, venture capital, real estate, infrastructure, and private credit, this segment targets higher returns in exchange for reduced liquidity. Proceeds from this allocation support legacy planning, philanthropy, and the enduring compounding of multigenerational wealth.

    Success is best when shared.
