Exciting News: American Wealth Management has won in three categories for the Best in Business 2025 Contest!
We are thrilled to announce that American Wealth Management has been voted the winner in three categories for the Best in Business 2025 hosted by Northern Nevada Weekly! This incredible recognition highlights the dedication and hard work of our team.
We Are Honored to Be Recognized as Winners in the Following Categories:
1st Place for Most Philanthropic (under 30 employees)
It’s an honor to serve the Reno/Tahoe community. Our financial advisors invest in Reno to strengthen future generations by serving several non-profit organizations by giving our time and resources to Renown Health, the Boy and Girls Club of Truckee Meadows, the University of Nevada, Reno, the Boy Scouts of America, the Reno Philharmonic, and the Food Bank of Northern Nevada, among others.
2nd Place for Best Financial Planner – Laif E. Meidell, CMT, AIF®, President, Wealth Advisor, Registered Representative at American Wealth Management
Laif’s desire to help clients manage risk led him to study quantitative and technical analysis. He’s a Chartered Market Technician and created his own proprietary tactical strategies, known as Market Adaptive™ strategies. Merging a tactical strategy with strategic asset allocation provides a belt and suspenders approach to investing, which for some investors means peace of mind.
2nd Place for Best Small Business (under 30 employees)
Winning for Best Small Business in The Biggest Little City highlights the impact of being a small, community-focused office. Our close-knit team knows each other’s clients, families, and stories, creating a strong foundation of trust and understanding. This connection enables seamless, real-time communication and allows us to tailor workflows not only to meet our clients’ needs but also to support one another effectively.
