    | October 22, 2021

    Senior Financial Life Advisor recognized for tenth consecutive year.

    Telemus is proud to recognize Senior Financial Life Advisor, Partner Diana J. Joseph for a decade of recognition as a Five Star Wealth Manager Award winner. The prestigious award, published by Chicago Magazine, recognizes outstanding service and overall satisfaction.

    Joseph was first honored in 2012 and has consistently been recognized by the publication.

    “This is a well-deserved honor for a valuable teammate who has delivered exceptional service to her clients and the firm for many years,” said Lyle Wolberg, Telemus CEO, Senior Financial Life Advisor and Partner. “Diana is a wealth of knowledge and has successfully helped many families and foundations develop customized financial plans and reach their specific investment goals.”

    Through her leadership and mentoring roles since 2017, Telemus has continued to foster talent recruitment and growth in its Chicago office. Joseph has played a key role in assembling a group of leading financial professionals who are helping clients achieve their goals through financial advisory, planning, and investment management solutions.

    As the team has expanded, she has transitioned from Co-Chief Investment Officer of the firm to Senior Financial Life Advisor, where she leads the investment process and strategy for specific areas, including manager-of-manager clients, high and rising dividend and socially aware investing strategies.

    “I’m humbled by the continued recognition as a Five Star Wealth Manager and hope to see others from our Chicago office make the list in the coming years,” she said.

    As the firm continues its strategic growth initiatives, there’s an opportunity to bolster client services around financial planning and investment management needs. The firm’s Chicago team has an array of financial specialists with different backgrounds that allow each one of them to connect with clients through a deep and thoughtful exploration process to define what financial and personal achievement means to them.
