Some engage in investing, others launch businesses, and taxes are always a consideration. However, for most, the most significant financial journey is preparing for and managing their retirement.
Financial planning is crucial for everyone, but especially for retirees, as it can significantly impact long-term security and peace of mind. Navigating this process with the guidance of an expert can make all the difference. Eric Weschke is one such expert, bringing over 30 years of experience in the financial services industry.

Through his company, Advanced Folio Capital Management, Eric utilizes his vast experience and resources to build strong relationships, helping clients achieve financial stability, asset preservation, and growth.
Generational Expertise: Foundations and Education
Eric Weschke comes from a family with a rich legacy of financial expertise. His mother, Catherine Montana, was one of the pioneering women to work on the stock exchange floor in the late 1960s, and it was from her that Eric inherited a deep passion for helping others manage their finances with confidence. His passion for finance was further nurtured by a strong educational foundation. His father, who headed the Suffolk College Engineering Department, provided Eric with a solid mathematical education from an early age, setting the stage for his future success in the financial industry.
Eric Weschke’s educational journey continued through high school and college, where he pursued his growing interest in finance and management at the University of Albany. His dedication and enthusiasm for the field paid off, as he graduated with honors, earning a Bachelor of Science with double majors in Finance and Management Information Systems.
