To better serve our clients, our advisors hold distinguished designations that show they are committed to providing the highest standard of financial services.

Michael Dodge is a Senior Private Investment Management (PIM®) Portfolio Manager, a specially trained Financial Advisor who manages clients’ investment portfolios in a discretionary manner, guided closely by the research recommendations and collective insights of Wells Fargo Securities and external research firms whose services we subscribe to. Each portfolio follows an investment plan customized to the client’s needs and may represent a blend of stocks, cash alternatives, exchange traded funds, and mutual funds.

Wells Fargo Advisors’ PIM® Portfolio Managers must meet eligibility requirements which include a minimum of two years of experience as a portfolio manager, five years of industry experience, and successful completion of stringent securities exams. They complete advanced training, including an ethics exam, proxy exam and a 40-hour portfolio management training course. Only five percent of the firm’s financial advisors have met the criteria to act as PIM Portfolio Managers.

*The PIM program may not be suitable for all investors. Please carefully review the Wells Fargo Advisors advisory disclosure document for a full description of our services. The minimum account size for this program is $50,000.
