Paul Jablansky Named CIO of AAFMAA Wealth Management & Trust

AAFMAA Wealth Management & Trust LLC (AWM&T) is pleased to announce that Paul Jablansky has been appointed as Chief Investment Officer. The financial industry veteran brings 40 years of experience including roles in research, trading, portfolio management, and investment banking. In his new role as CIO, Paul will be responsible for setting investment strategy, managing client portfolios, and regularly providing clients with timely market updates and outlooks.

AWM&T provides financial solutions exclusively to members of the U.S. Armed Forces Community. Since our founding in 2012,  we have secured legacies for military families by providing comprehensive financial planning, investment management, and trust administration services. Paul embraces his new role with AWM&T and is pleased to focus on financial services for the military community. “I have tremendous respect for the military,” he explains. “My dad worked for the Department of the Army as a civilian for 20 years designing rockets, and my father-in-law was a Major in Vietnam. This is a way for me to give back a little bit.”

Paul previously held a variety of roles at companies including Salomon Brothers, Goldman Sachs, Banc of America Securities, Western Asset Management Company, and Guardian Life Insurance. While at Banc of America, he was an advisor to the House Financial Services Committee and Senate Banking Committee on issues related to mitigating foreclosures during the Great Financial Crisis.

Paul plans to bring his asset allocation skills to AWM&T clients, and will evaluate and compare the company’s current series of models to each client’s specific needs. He shares, “The next chapter for me at AAFMAA Wealth Management & Trust is about two things. One is moving from a role managing money for a large mutual life insurance company to something more hands-on. Even though our parent company, AAFMAA, has been around a long time, AWM&T feels like a startup, and I look forward to helping grow the business. Even more importantly, I’m doing something late in my career that’s very meaningful. By that I mean the purpose, focus, and nature of the institution.”
