For over 20 years, Valued Aligned Partners (“VAP”) has worked in our client’s best interests by thinking and acting independently rather than blindly following outdated Wall Street practices. Our personalized approach, our total commitment to serving our clients, our independence from big Wall Street firms, and our investing experience make us unique. We know that shares of great companies are not part of the answer, they are the only answer if you want an income that outlives you. After 16 years as a hedge fund trader and a corporate finance consultant, David, with his dad Bill, a mutual fund executive at Dreyfus, started VAP in 2002 to offer advice to his family and friends whose lives and finances were turned upside down by the Dot.com market crash in 2000 and the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
