KEN HUTKIN
Managing Director, Investments
As a Wedbush Managing Director, I bring in over 30 years of experience for the New York office of Wedbush Securities. I was passionate about Wall Street from a young age and was inspired to pursue a career in Finance and previously served as Senior Vice President & Financial Advisor at Morgan Stanley. As a former business owner and entrepreneur, I’m able to understand the challenges faced by professionals and business owners, which helps me provide the ability to design custom tailored solutions and financial plans. I have a knack for navigating through complex financial issues and pride myself on the ability to listen carefully to clients’ challenges and goals so as to formulate appropriate investment plans into simple and clear actionable items. Originally from Philadelphia, I’ve lived in New York on and off for the last 30 years. I earned my Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Maryland in English and Philosophy and did graduate work at Villanova University and Pace University in New York City. I take personal pride in raising my four sons. In my free time, I enjoy coaching football, baseball, and basketball, playing tennis, adventure travel, and collecting East Asian art.
