Memphis, TN – Alden Investment Group proudly announces the appointment of Craig Wiener as its new Director of Market Strategy.
A seasoned investment strategist with over 30 years of experience in market analysis and tactical asset management, Craig brings a wealth of knowledge and innovative strategies to the firm.
Craig’s career in financial services began in 1985. In 1994, he began focusing on Point-and-Figure charting (PNF), establishing himself as a technical market strategy leader. Prior to joining Alden, he was at Realta Wealth, where his proprietary research and data-driven methodologies helped investors navigate complex market conditions.
His decision to join Alden was motivated by the opportunity to enhance client outcomes through a fee-based model, fostering greater alignment with client interests and long-term investment success. Additionally, Alden’s youthful leadership and growth potential were significant factors in his decision, aligning with his vision for a dynamic and innovative financial firm.
In his new role, Craig will oversee market research, strategic asset allocation, and portfolio optimization. As a key member of Alden’s Investment Committee, he will work to identify trends and optimize investment strategies in equities, fixed income, alternative investments, and long/short strategies. His responsibilities will also include thought leadership, client education, and product development, ensuring Alden remains at the forefront of investment innovation.
Craig’s contributions to the industry extend beyond portfolio management. A protégé of Tom Dorsey, founder of Nasdaq Dorsey Wright, Craig was featured in Dorsey’s book Thriving as a Broker in the 21st Century. His market insights are widely sought after.
A former University of Tennessee basketball scholarship athlete and three-time Maccabi Games participant representing the United States, Craig brings the same discipline and strategic mindset to his financial career that he applied to competitive sports.

The combination of Alden’s innovative platform, strong leadership, and commitment to client-centric strategies makes this an exciting next chapter in my career.”
