Biography


Brian Korienek began his profession in the financial industry in 2011 as an analyst for the Chicago Board of Trade with an agricultural commodities firm. While finance and the stock market have always intrigued him, he also enjoys working with people, so the decision to transition to being an advisor was an easy one. Brian is a fiduciary advisor who holds an Illinois life & health insurance license and has passed his Series 7 and 66 licenses. He has been seen on Fox 32 Chicago and heard on the WLS 890AM radio show, Securing Your Financial Future. Brian has a passion for crafting the ideal investment portfolio to suit each client’s unique needs, and he’s fine-tuned this craft over the years to become a complete and diligent wealth manager. Brian truly enjoys assisting individuals in planning for specific economic goals and helping them reach a better financial situation. Possibly most important to him is helping individuals manage the risk in their portfolio. Brian also supports many social causes that strongly resonate with him and his family, being involved with non-profits such as the American Cancer Society, the I Understand Love Heals organization, and the Alzheimer’s Association. Brian is an avid traveler who enjoys taking trips with his wife in his spare time. He enjoys playing a good round of golf, whether with friends or clients, and loves to explore the local Chicago restaurant scene.
