2016 Fall Conference Speaker
Adam Birenbaum
As chief executive officer for Buckingham and BAM Advisor Services, Adam Birenbaum provides the dedicated, strategic leadership critical to advancing
Buckingham’s position as one of the leading independent wealth management firms in the United States. Together with BAM Advisor Services, Adam leads an organization serving over 18,000 clients, managing or administering over $26.2 billion dollars of assets.
Early on in his professional life, Adam followed his interest in finance to a job focused on valuation, transactions and restructurings. While he loved the world of finance, he felt he was missing a bigger opportunity to connect with and bring value to the lives of others in a more meaningful way. Returning to St. Louis to attend law school, Adam was inspired by the book “T he Only Guide to a Winning Investment Strategy You’ll Ever Need” by industry thought leader, Larry Swedroe. He tracked down the author’s firm, only to find that his dream job — a better way to work in the world of finance — was right in his own backyard.
As CEO of Buckingham and BAM, Adam leads strategic planning and initiatives across the entire organization, continuously evolving and improving its approach to attracting top talent, building robust infrastructure and delivering an unrivaled client experience. With his keen eye for succession and growth, Adam has helped Buckingham create deep wealth management teams capable of supporting the firm’s clients now and for
generations to come, as well as expand its size and depth of client experience through a combination of organic and acquisition-based growth strategies. The combination of these efforts has enabled Buckingham to become one of the largest Registered Investment Advisor firms in the country.
Adam is a graduate of Vanderbilt University and St. Louis University School of Law. He is an avid sports fan, an active collector of sports memorabilia and a lover of movies. He and his wife, a pediatrician, have three wonderful children — two daughters and a son.
