He enjoys entertaining and cooking homemade pizzas in his outdoor pizza oven. Brian is also very dedicated to children’s and veterans’ charities, most notably St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital and the Fisher House Foundation.

100% Fee-Only Fiduciary—He Works for You.
Rezny Wealth Management is a privately owned fee-only SEC-registered investment advisory firm, in business for over 20 years. Founder and President Brian C. Rezny has over 30 years of investment management and wealth planning experience.
​
As a fee-only wealth management firm, our revenues are derived solely from fees paid directly to us by our clients. This means that, as our client, we work for you—not a bank, brokerage or Wall Street firm. The relationship is that of a trusted advisor, not a broker. Unlike commission-based advisors (who are really salespeople), we have no incentive to recommend or sell you proprietary financial products in order to earn our compensation. We can invest on your behalf and give financial advice without these inherent conflicts of interest. And as a fiduciary, it’s not just our mission to work only in our clients’ best interests, but our legal obligation.
