History of Barry Financial Group, Inc.
Barry Financial Group takes pride in the tradition of wealth management it has developed for over thirty-five years. This tradition has its roots in the second oldest money management firm in the United States - the Putnam Group. After graduating from Burdett College, James A. Barry, Jr., began his career with the Putnam Group in Boston, Massachusetts. While at Putnam he learned valuable lessons in all facets of investing and money management - asset allocation, risk management, portfolio optimization, market trends, *tax and estate planning, business succession, asset protection and retirement planning. In a short amount of time, James A. Barry, Jr. rose to the position of Senior Vice President of the Putnam Group. Then, in 1974, he graduated with the second class of the College for Financial Planning, earning the designation as a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional.
In 1975, James A. Barry, Jr., CFP®, decided his talents would be put to better use if he started his own investment and wealth management firm. Later that year he formed Barry Financial Group, Inc. Barry Financial Group is one of south Florida's oldest independent wealth management firms.
Jim Barry hosted a weekly TV program. Until recently, Jim Barry’s Financial Success, aired for nine years from the studios of the PBS affiliate WXEL-TV and Talk About Money aired via Fox Television for 18 years. In the spring of 2004, Talk About Money substantially increased its audience with a move to NBC. The one-hour viewer participation show originated from the WPTV studio in downtown West Palm Beach, Florida. Jim and their expert guests offer “real world” solutions in the areas of Estate Planning, Tax Planning, Investment Planning, Financial Planning, and Retirement Planning, through the only interactive television programming of its kind. Viewers had the opportunity to call in, toll-free, to get answers to their financial questions.
