Alan Rhode, CFP®, RLP®

Hi, I’m Alan Rhode, the Founder and CEO of Modern Wealth and Host of the Inspired Wealth podcast. Through my EVOKE® Financial Life Planning process, I Empower People To Live Wealthy!

I’m an active and proud Member of the CFP Board, The Investment and Wealth Institute, Penn State Alumni Association, XY Planning Network (XYPN), The Financial Planning Association (FPA), National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (NAPFA), the Fee Only Network, the Kinder Institute of Life Planning, and Business Networking International (BNI).

With over a decade of experience, I’ve helped good people and families achieve what’s most important to them at prestigious firms such as Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, and Goldman Sachs. I have also been featured and quoted in publications such as The Philadelphia Inquirer, The New York Times, MarketWatch, ABC, NBC, Fox News, Markets Insider, XY Planning Network, The Financial Planning Association, The Fee Only Network, PR Newswire and Ask.com.

I earned my Bachelor’s of Science degree in Finance from Penn State University and satisfied my CFP education requirement through the American College of Financial Services. I have also earned The Kinder Institute of Life Planning’s Registered Life Planner® designation. I’m currently enrolled at Yale School of Management’s Wealth Management Theory and Practice program to earn the Certified Private Wealth Advisor® advanced designation.

In my free time, I enjoy amateur autocross racing, Philadelphia sports, softball, racquetball, working out, the beach, and spending time with my family and friends. They are everything to me.

XY PLANNING NETWORK – Fiduciary Partner
XY Planning Network is the leading organization of fee only financial advisors, like me. XYPN believes that consumers are looking for more than investment advice, and are seeking full financial planning. XYPN is for fee only Financial Planners, like Modern Wealth. Fee only means advisors do not accept commissions, referral fees, or kickbacks of any kind. XYPN and Modern Wealth believe these under-the-table payments introduce conflicts of interest between clients and advisors, when the two parties should be working together to reach the same goal: your financial well being.

CHARLES SCHWAB – Custodial Partner
Charles Schwab offers an open architecture of investment opportunities that provides my clients with the right choices to build a diversified portfolio and reach their goals. Since 1973, Charles Schwab has strived to see the world through my clients’ eyes. That means—through good times and bad—they are there for us. Schwab offers personalized guidance, award-winning service and expert perspectives that helps our clients achieve their goals.
