We recently sat down with Robert Wickboldt III, the Founder and CEO at Essex Investments, headquartered in Reno, Nevada:
Q: Could you provide our readers with a brief introduction to Essex Investments?
A: Thank you for asking. I’d be delighted to share our story with your listeners. In 2022, after many successful ventures in the field of financial services and investing, I opted to start my own investment platform and opened Essex Investments LLC. Today, Essex Investments is well-known and widely respected in the financial services and investment industry. We focus on creating an alternative investment strategy for our clients to achieve long-term investment results for them. I am the firm’s managing partner, and I oversee the firm’s overall investment strategy.
Q: Tell us a little more about what inspired you to found Essex Investments.
A: Like so many other successful businesses, it started with careful preparation. After high school, I attended Columbia University in New York City, though I now live in Houston, Texas. While at Colombia, I focused both my personal interests and my education on the field of financial investments. That included reading anything I could get my hands on, especially focused on the stock and bond markets. Research reports about the history and the future of those markets topped my reading list.
I soon realized that an understanding of the financial markets and their history would enable me to make informed decisions on future investments.
Based on my interest in the stock market, one of my first ventures took me into the field of day trading and strategies for short-term investments in various companies based on the market signals I detected. This allowed me to make sound investments and earn a good overall return without holding any stock for too long.
Q: Tell us a little more about your service suite and what you offer.
A: That trading and investment experience soon equipped me to look beyond investing my own capital for personal profit. I began serving as a professional investment strategist, not only for individuals but also for a number of professional investment firms. This also came to include providing a detailed analysis of individual companies and stocks in ways that incorporated larger macroeconomic forces that could affect investors.
Q: What is your unique value proposition? What sets your business apart from others in this field?
A: Stock markets and investment opportunities are notoriously variable and influenced by many complex factors. Essex Investments and I have laid down a long and successful personal track record that is unusual in this environment. Our special expertise is in understanding both market forces and ways to navigate among them.
We also specialize in excellent, tax-efficient ways to manage tax liabilities within a balanced portfolio balanced for active and passive investments. This is especially advantageous in times of exceptional stock market and real estate market volatility.
Q: The nature of running a business changes all the time. How does your company navigate those changes while consistently delivering high-quality services and results?
A: Diversification is a key concept in managing a changing business environment. Our expertise spans a wide spectrum of financial instruments and tools. As a result, we seek opportunities to invest in a variety of asset classes.
Q: In your view, what is the key to delivering an exceptional customer service experience, particularly in your field?
A: The key to exceptional customer service is establishing a personal relationship with each client. I expect every employee and colleague at Essex Investments to do the same.
Having been born into a military family, I experienced many moves following reassignments. I have lived in both the American West and the Northeast. This has given me a wide and unique experience of lifestyles, cultures, and both city and country environments. As a result, I have developed a broad understanding of human nature, people’s needs, and their aspirations. So I am always very comfortable and often inspired by meeting new clients from all walks of life.
Q: What is the best thing about your company that people might not know about?
A: While our clients might not know about it at first, they quickly experience it. We adapt to changes in the markets frequently and fast. That makes us agile and highly profitable partners in establishing our client’s paths to stability and growth in their financial goals.
Thank you again for this opportunity to introduce all of us at Essex Investments to your listeners. We look forward to meeting many of them soon.
