About Derek Popp
Delivering premier, high-touch service.
I work with a diverse, nationwide group of successful individuals that spans entrepreneurs, business owners, community leaders, and high-profile members of the sports and entertainment communities.
I take a holistic approach to delivering high-touch, responsive service and ongoing communications to a select group of clients like you. I am mindful of your total financial picture and discuss your overall needs and goals, which often extend beyond investments. I leverage the institutional-caliber resources of J.P. Morgan to advise you on assets, liabilities, cash flow and cash management, and I conduct regular and consistent reviews to help you pursue your desired outcomes.
In certain situations, I incorporate the Family Engagement and Governance Group to facilitate purposeful decisionmaking, stewardship and education for the rising generation. I also partner with your circle of influence, such as your accountants, attorneys, family office staff and other professionals. My focus is on forging and maintaining solid relationships to help ensure your strategies are aligned and help make your day-to-day financial life easier.
