A River Runs Through Wall Street

Chambers College alumnus Michael Shalhoup was recently profiled in Forbes for his work in the field of wealth management. This proud West Virginian and avid fly fisherman has emerged as a prominent figure in the finance industry, overseeing more than $1.7 billion in assets at Merrill Lynch. 

Shalhoup’s practice has made lists including Forbes America’s Top Next-Gen Wealth Advisors, Top Next-Gen Wealth Advisors Best-in-State, Best-in-State Wealth Advisors, Best-in-State Wealth Management Teams and America's Top Wealth Management Teams High Net Worth. In addition, he is the namesake of a study room within Reynolds Hall.

Shalhoup’s journey began with a degree in economics from West Virginia University and later brought him to New York City. Joining Merrill Lynch in 2010, he built his practice from the ground up, initially focusing on serving public executives.

Their commitment to embracing technology and financial planning tools ensures an enhanced client experience, while their philosophy of simplicity, transparency and education empowers clients to understand and articulate their financial plans.
