Why Anthony Pellegrino is A Trusted Voice in Chicago Finance

If you live in Chicago and have even a passing interest in wealth management, you’ve probably heard of Goldstone Financial Group’s Anthony Pellegrino.

For the last two decades, the fiduciary-turned entrepreneur has dedicated his career to helping those in and beyond the Windy City plan for a secure financial future. While he currently stands as the co-founder and principal of Goldstone Financial Group, a firm that specializes in helping clients plan for a financially secure retirement, Pellegrino’s expertise has extended well beyond his office walls.

For several years, Pellegrino co-hosted the popular CBS 2 television show, “Securing Your Financial Future,” with fellow Goldstone Financial Group principal, Michael Pellegrino. The program aired in a popular Sunday morning slot and provided valuable insights on how an average person could maximize their financial assets in preparation for retirement.

The Pellegrinos tasked themselves with answering the questions that real Chicagoans needed answers for -- in some episodes, the program even took to the streets to query citizens on what they wanted to know about wealth management. The pair’s advice echoed beyond Chicago, too; before its debut on CBS, the show maintained a popular presence on WLS 890 AM radio for five years, receiving acclaim from both local and national listeners. At one point, Nielsen Audio ranked the show as one of the most listened-to financial talk radio programs in the Chicago area.

Given this, it is perhaps unsurprising that Anthony Pellegrino’s voice has become both familiar and trusted in the financial sector. However, his professional efforts and renown extend far beyond his work in popular media. Pellegrino’s on-screen charisma is backed by two decades of experience in the financial sector and a remarkable portfolio of professional achievements.

Since founding Goldstone Financial Group in 2000, Pellegrino has stepped into a dual role. As the firm’s principal, he is responsible for both guiding clients towards financial success and ensuring that the firm’s associated specialists have the support they need to grow and uphold Goldstone’s brand throughout the Midwest. His efforts have seen dramatic results. In the two decades since Goldstone Financial Group’s founding, Pellegrino has grown his company into a dependable, award-winning firm of talented fiduciaries -- and personally helped over 2,500 clients manage their assets.

Anthony Pellegrino’s accolades emphasize these achievements. Advisors Excel recognized him as one of the Top Ten Advisors in America in 2013, and the entrepreneur-fiduciary has consistently ranked among the top one percent of all Safe Money Specialists in America. In fact, Pellegrino’s presence in Chicago’s financial sector is so well-established that he was invited to stand on stage with former President George W. Bush during an event at the Ronald Reagan International Trade Center.

Now, Anthony Pellegrino can add one more feather to his professional cap. Last fall, the entrepreneur-fiduciary received a Five Star Wealth Manager Award. The award recognizes the quality of Goldstone Financial Group’s customer service and takes into account Pellegrino’s stellar client retention rate, broad portfolio of managed assets, and professional expertise.

“It truly is an honor to be recognized by Five Star Professionals,” Pellegrino shared in a press release. “I’ve dedicated my practice to not only helping individuals plan for their financial future but also remaining by their side as a partner in achieving their desired results. It gives me great pride to see my effort and dedication be recognized, and I am very grateful for being awarded the Five Star Wealth Manager award.”

If the role of a fiduciary is to help clients towards success, Anthony Pellegrino has distilled his job into a professional philosophy. As his latest award shows, every one of his professional achievements is built atop a firm foundation of hard-won trust and work. His standing as a trusted voice in Chicago’s financial sector is unquestionably well-earned -- and will undoubtedly persist in the future.
