Biography


As President, Frank oversees all aspects for the firm, including day-to-day operations, strategic alliances, joint ventures, and compliance, and develops new services. Frank is co-chair of the firm’s Investment Committee and represents Reilly Financial Advisors internationally. Frank’s immersion in international business has served as the foundation for the firm’s global approach. Frank has conducted business, researched potential foreign offices, and negotiated contracts in Switzerland, England, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, and the Czech Republic, meeting with local financial regulators, lawyers, and potential partners. Frank also spent 18 months working out of the firm’s Saudi Arabia office. He has attended investment and economic symposiums internationally and has traveled for business to Europe, Africa, the Middle East, India, and the Far East, including 16 “around the world” and 20 intercontinental trips. Frank continues to travel internationally to develop strategic alliances, stay abreast of global economic issues, and visit clients. Prior to co-founding Reilly Financial Advisors, Frank worked in multiple roles at LPL Financial, a leading technology, brokerage, and investment advisory platform for financial advisors. In this role, he researched and negotiated several international alliance contracts with multiple countries, including Brazil, Bahrain, and Canada. He was also an integral member of the team that began Global Portfolio Advisors, an international institutional money management firm that still exists today, researching and meeting with local financial regulators and major foreign investment firms around the world and conducting business in India, Singapore, Indonesia, Lebanon, Bahrain, and Taiwan. Frank worked closely with the Royal Bank of Canada to draft an offshore trust offering for LPL representatives and was responsible for compliance with IRS laws regarding non-resident (NR) and passive foreign investment company (PFIC) taxes for the offshore trust. Frank holds a bachelor's degree and a master’s degree in International Business from the United States International University and has earned the FINRA Series 4, 7, 24, 63, and 65 licenses. Frank’s professional and personal experiences traveling and conducting business around the world, combined with his advanced education in international business, have shaped his real-world perspective, guide firm reactions to world events, and help him to position portfolios to the benefit of the firm’s clients. In his free time, Frank enjoys teaching middle school, high school and collegiate-level courses in finance, investing, and economics. He also enjoys skiing, mountain biking, attending church, and enjoying Disneyland with his family.
