Wayne, PA — Alden Investment Group is pleased to welcome Thomas F. Wiese, President and CEO of TFW Global Advisors LLC, as a Registered Representative.
Tom officially joined Alden on September 23, 2024, bringing over two decades of experience in the financial services industry.
Operating from his home office in Titusville, NJ, he will continue to focus on delivering institutional solutions tailored to Family Offices, High Net Worth (HNW) Clients, and Institutional Investors.
In his new role with Alden, Tom will leverage his extensive expertise in institutional private placement life insurance (PPLI) and private placement variable annuities (PPVA) to offer tax-efficient solutions to sophisticated clients.

This partnership allows me the independence to choose the best solutions and partners for my clients’ needs.”
Before joining Alden, Tom held key roles at leading financial institutions, including Crown Global Insurance. Notably, he played a pivotal role at Lombard International, where he led the growth of their Institutional PPLI and PPVA Business to over $7.2 billion in AUM between 2016 and 2021, with an impressive 50% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) during this period.
Tom’s decision to move into private practice reflects his commitment to delivering bespoke solutions with the freedom to work with the best-in-class carriers and partners. As the founder of TFW Global Advisors LLC, he looks forward to continuing his collaboration with top-tier insurance companies and helping them grow their institutional presence globally.
