Investment Services

I manage portfolios with investments across all asset classes including private credit and equity. I also manage two public equity models, Meeks Technology and Meeks Dividends, and separately managed accounts for Private Wealth Group (PWG) clients with at least $1 million. PWG portfolios are customized.

I am licensed to offer insurance in South Carolina, but also focus on fixed indexed annuities. It is straightforward to get permission to sell insurance outside the state.

I am a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and a Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst (CAIA). The former credential focuses on public securities. The latter emphasizes private, or alternative, assets.

Professor Meeks

I am a Professor of Practice in the Accounting and Finance Department in The Citadel’s Baker School of Business. I teach Corporate Finance, Financial Accounting, and investment-related courses. I also supervises the Student Managed Investment Fund which invests over $1 million for The Citadel Foundation. I lead the school’s advising program for cadets pursuing financial services careers.

Business Media

Since the mid-1990s, I have appeared almost weekly on CNBC and other outlets in the US and abroad to “talk tech” and more. I published almost as often as I am on air. My writing on broader investment topics as I discuss macro- and microeconomic variables that impact our economy, the financial markets, economic sectors, industries within those sectors, and individual private and public companies including international firms.

I have been a compensated spokesman for decades. I gave a TED Talk “Debunking Stock Investment Myths” in 2017 at Western Washington University while on its faculty. I am well known globally in the business media. If you are interested in booking me as a speaker, please inquire through this site.

History Buff

Believe it or not, I was a history major at Williams College. After graduation, I entered finance to pay the bills. I became an academic much later. I have a passion for American history through the Reconstruction era. I am a licensed historic tour guide in Charleston, South Carolina. On weekends, I give tours for guests of various hotels, but you can inquire about a private tour on this site.

Investment Portfolios

Meeks Tech Portfolio

Since completing graduate school in 1992, I have focused on investing in public and private technology companies. I once started and managed six tech mutual funds worth over a total $7 billion for Merrill Lynch Investment Managers which was acquired by BlackRock in 2006.

Meeks Private Wealth Group (PWG) Portfolios

For a client relationship (which may include more than one account) that exceeds $1 million, I offer customized portfolios that invest in all asset classes.

Insurance

I earned my South Carolina insurance license not just to offer the fixed index annuities on which I focus but to help educate investors on this financial tool. As interest rates have risen in the US in recent years, this once ignored asset class has become interesting and probably necessary for some investors. Please note that I do not offer variable annuities because I think they are a scam. Please contact us here for assistance.
