35+ Years of industry experience

Led by founder and CEO William “Bill” Liberti, Wealth Effects combines long-cycle market experience with modern planning technology and a client-centered process.

Experience shaped by real markets and real client decisions.

William (Bill) Liberti, Wealth Effects' CEO and founder, has over 35 years of industry experience providing financial and wealth management services. Beginning his career at Shearson Lehman Brothers in 1987, Bill witnessed first-hand the “Black Monday - Crash of 1987” from the 103rd floor of the World Trade Center. This experience has influenced his risk mitigation strategies and provided a foundation for his investment philosophy. Bill worked at C&M, Inc. from 2006 until 2021. Since then, he has built a team with the purpose to provide his clients with a breadth of financial guidance. In recognition of his passion for enriching his clients’ lives, Bill has been honored and named a Five Star Wealth Manager consecutively since 2013.

After decades in the industry, Bill founded Wealth Effects in 2021 to build a planning-focused firm designed around life events, client education, and practical financial decision-making.
