What Do You Enjoy Most About Your Job?
Competing and winning are the two most rewarding aspects of my job. This industry is extremely competitive and I love competing for an investor’s business and I love winning their trust over time.
How Does KARWA Approach Wealth Management Differently?
Periods of market volatility can really test an investor’s patience and commitment to their long-term strategy. At Kayne Anderson Rudnick, we intentionally structure portfolios to be defensive during difficult markets. One technique that I believe has been effective for us over the years involves blending alternative investment strategies together with traditional stock and bond portfolios to provide more diversification.
What Do You Hope to Achieve for Your Clients?
When a client says “Randy, I trust you,” it is the ultimate compliment, and it represents the stage in a relationship that I hope to achieve with all of my clients. Trust is something that is earned over time and to hear those words form the clients you represent is a special thing.
What Are You Involved in Outside of Work?
I live in Newport Beach with my wife Erica. We have two dogs, Charlie and Sky, who bring a daily dose of energy, joy and entertainment to their lives. As a former NCAA Division I College Soccer Player, I enjoy all aspects of sports and fitness. I also enjoy traveling abroad and have a great appreciation for a variety of performing arts.
