About Andrew

Andrew Vahab is a Managing Director and Wealth Partner at J.P. Morgan Wealth Management.

He and his team joined the firm in 2023 after spending two years at First Republic and 19 years at Citi Personal Wealth Management where he rose to Director, Senior Wealth Advisor and Portfolio Manager.

Andrew's financial and civic life has been a profile of achievement and devotion for decades. His reputation for professional excellence and personal care has attracted an elite, nationwide clientele of prominent founders, thought leaders, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, real estate developers and C-suite executives. He is particularly skilled at providing complex multi-generational financial solutions and capital market strategies.

Results and relationships are important to Andrew. He tries to work closely with both spouses and entire families—educating and sharing financial lessons that can prove beneficial for generations to come. His affinity for friendly conversations puts clients at ease and allows for discussions around issues that may not have been raised previously. Andrew has become good friends with many clients and feels privileged to have shared their special moments at anniversary parties, weddings and other milestone events. The closeness of those relationships makes him a "first call" for any financial decision.

Andrew earned the CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® (CFP®) designation at New York University and a B.S. in Business Administration from the Zicklin School of Business at Bernard M. Baruch College, where he majored in Finance and Investments and minored in Political Science. Generous with his time and resources, Andrew serves on the Board of Directors for the Dreyfoos Foundation, a prestigious art school in South Florida. He also serves on the board of the Youth Activity Center of Boca Raton, an affordable after-school enrichment program. In addition, Andrew is a Senior Board Advisor for Lens on Life, a non-profit organization that supports photography and computer literacy training for at-risk youth around the world.

Raised by his single mother, Andrew grew up with a deep appreciation for hard work and the value of money. Today, he and his wife, Jackie, live in Boca Raton with their four sons. When not participating in his kids' activities, Andrew can be found on the tennis court or at his group's offices in Boca Raton and Manhattan.
