About
Our story
In 1984 our founder Brian Wilson graduated from the University of Illinois with a degree in finance. Since then, he has worked exclusively as a fiduciary in bank trust and investment management roles. Over more than four decades, Brian has guided portfolios through market cycles of every kind, including bubbles, bear markets, and bull markets.
During his time in Bank of America’s Private Wealth Management division, Brian grew frustrated with management’s relentless pressure to sell products rather than make thoughtful, long-term investment decisions based on each client’s true needs. Seeking a way to provide investors with more independent, less biased advice, he left private banking in 2004. After spending some time at a Chicago-based adviser, he founded Stabile Investment Management in 2008.
The firm has grown steadily since its founding, building long-lasting relationships with a loyal client base. In 2025, Brian welcomed his sons, Adam and Ben, to the firm as partners, ensuring continuity of values, philosophy, and client service for the next generation.

Our Greatest Strength: Independence
We are not part of a larger firm, we have no external profit motive, no products to sell, no commissions to earn, and no sales goals driving our decisions.
Our independence allows us to focus entirely on delivering an exceptional client experience and meaningful long-term value. We provide unfiltered, unadulterated advice. Our guidance is driven by our own curiosity, research, and insight. We are not limited to a prescribed list of investments. Instead, we draw from the broadest possible universe of investments accessible to us, so we can make decisions aligned with your goals.
