Michael follows a few basic principles when running the practice. They are to do the right thing, do the best you can, and show people that you care. Michael is a hands on advisor who takes great pleasure in running the business, delegating responsibilities to staff, and providing expert guidance to retirees and individuals who are fast approaching retirement. He is committed to providing clients with conservative investment strategies that will help fund a better standard of living during retirement. Just like his clients, Michael believes in the work ethic and knows how important it is to preserve hard-earned dollars. He started his career in the financial services industry in 1986, branching out to form his own company three years later. Since that time, he has had the privilege of meeting with over 2,500 people who are nearing retirement or already enjoying it. Michael is a State Registered Investment Advisor and Licensed Insurance Professional. Since opening his own firm over 20 years ago, Michael has been on a mission to protect client's capital. Unlike many advisors whom he thinks are mentally stuck in the 1990s with aggressive strategies, Michael specializes in conservative strategies that are likely to provide a steady and reliable return. Michael is literally always on the move. He took up running 18 years ago and has since completed numerous full and half marathons. Physical fitness and fiscal fitness are both of crucial importance to him.

Lee started his independent financial services firm in 1996, intent upon providing personal, process driven guidance that high-net-worth individuals, retirees, and business owners need to pursue their financial goals. As independent advisors,Lee says,we create objective, customized planning strategies to help manage, preserve, and transfer our client's wealth. We are committed to helping individuals and families pursue their goals through what is most important to them: their personal values. Lee's credentials encompass a bachelor's degree in Business Administration, an MBA, and the designation of CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ practitioner.

His education, and over 2 decades of experience, have made him a multi-faceted professional capable of evaluating virtually all areas of a client's financial life, designing strategies to address the needs of each aspect, and weaving the strategies into an integrated plan so all pieces work together efficiently.
Our Financial Advisors create objective, customized strategies to help manage, preserve, and transfer our client's wealth. We have developed a rigorous integrated process which incorporates three key pillars: Fundamental Risk Process, Proactive Investment Strategies, and Customized Financial Planning. Our structured system starts with your personal Risk Number® which we use to establish a Risk Managed portfolio that responds to the changing markets. This portfolio is then integrated into a Financial Plan that aims to increase the probability that you will never run out of money, especially in retirement. Our comprehensive financial planning will help organize your assets, insurance, liabilities, and estate documents to help you simplify, consolidate and integrate every aspect of your financial future, so you can devote your time to what's most important to you - your family and lifestyle. As CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ practitioners, we've long held ourselves to the fiduciary standard. We welcome the cornerstone of the new CFP Board's Code of Ethics, effective October 1, 2019, as "a CFP® professional's duty to act as a fiduciary, in the best interest of the client, at all times when providing financial advice to a client" to reflect the commitment to which all CFP® professionals are required, to comply to the high standards of competency and ethics.

In May of 2010, Rey Descalso left a large wirehouse to create a firm that would help his clients without call centers, proprietary products or the legacy liabilities of large Wall Street firms. He feels his experience in 2008 was a defining moment that guides him to this day: As an industry, we were not well-prepared for the credit crisis on many levels. We did not have appropriate risk management in place for the needs of many clients. This went beyond the pure numbers and drawdowns. We were not well-equipped to handle the emotional hardship many clients faced when everyone thought the financial world was crashing down around them. So, educating clients about risk management has become one of my most important priorities. Mr. Descalso has lived in the Central Florida area for most his life and attended Forest Lake Academy in Apopka. He received a Bachelors Degree in Theology at Southern Adventist University in 1997 and a Master of Divinity Degree from Andrews Theological Seminary in 1999. He and Rebecca, his wife of over 20 years, have a mischievous daughter, Olivia. All three of them enjoy Disney cruises and time at the beach.
At Privada Wealth Management, our mission is to help our clients reach their financial goals. This overarching mission informs everything we do.

We have a local Naples Florida presence, and a team of driven professionals including Chartered Financial Analyst's (CFA) and Certified Financial Planner's (CFP) with decades of experience. We believe each client deserves their own personal portfolio, custom tailored to their individual requirements. We accomplish this by developing genuine relationships to intimately understand your goals and needs. We custom design portfolios based upon each client's individual risk tolerance and income needs using our own proprietary management strategies.
