In a 2022 entry nominating Grinspoon for the Savvy Ladies’ Male Ally award at Hightower Advisors, which recognizes men in the financial field who value equality, VWG’s CEO, Elana Fine, talked about how Grinspoon created a culture at the firm that attracts, retains and promotes women.
“Jeff gave me the room to lead and placed his trust in me so that our employees would trust me,” she wrote. Grinspoon won the award, and he noted that the women he works with display a great deal of empathy, an important quality for financial advisers.
Listed among Forbes’ 250 top wealth advisers in the country and No. 3 in Virginia in Barron’s this year, Grinspoon previously was a senior vice president at Morgan Stanley. He founded VWG in 2011, and the firm partners with aggregator Hightower.
In June, VWG had more than $2 billion in assets under management, according to Grinspoon.
A University of Maryland graduate with a bachelor’s degree and an MBA, Grinspoon started his finance career at Legg Mason.
