BIOGRAPHY

Norman Politziner is a highly respected independent financial advisor whose deeply felt set of values – of family, personal accomplishment, and professional integrity – are all expressed in his work. A financial advisor and Certified Financial Planner™ practitioner for more than 30 years, the 64-year-old Politziner entered the field after spending a decade in his father’s business, and it was that experience – of handling the challenges small-business owners face, and of seeing his parents’ own personal concerns after retiring from business -- that ultimately inspired him to become a financial advisor. His practice today, based in his hometown of Highland Park, assists accomplished professionals and business owners, many of whom have relied on him and his firm since the 1970s. Down-to-earth and with a gift for humor, Politziner (pronounced Pol-itz-EE-ner) stands in sharp contrast to less experienced competitors. He is a published author, lecturer, musician and lifelong veteran of the amateur stage, all a reflection of his rich and cultured upbringing. “I am the luckiest guy in the world,” Politziner writes with affection in the 2005 book he co-authored on retirement planning, Living & Learning. “I grew up in a family filled with music, art and humor. Every day I awoke to music by Mozart, Brahms and Beethoven, and Broadway tunes from ‘Oklahoma’ to ‘The Pajama Game’.” In college he commuted to NYU, earning a BS in Business Administration; he later received his MBA from Rutgers. His first job: A coveted assistant buyer’s position for Bloomingdale’s. When a salesman fell ill in his father’s toy-distribution business, Politziner returned and helped anchor the enterprise. After his parents retired, he considered a new course. He interviewed with 27 insurance firms, ultimately choosing the one which he felt would best support his business vision.


"I like to hear from my clients. I love being able to guide them, and help them. That’s what keeps a smile on my face. "


There he stood out for his steadfast defense of his clients’ interests. What’s more, he eschewed the Chartered Life Underwriter designation, and instead pursued the broader designation, CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ certification – the first at the company. “There’s more to life than life insurance. I didn’t want to be pigeonholed.” Thus Politziner prepared himself for his own financial-advisory practice. These days his clients are a diverse group of accomplished business owners, professionals and physicians, with assets ranging from $1 million to $20 million. He adopts new technologies regularly; the latest allows clients to track all of their assets daily, even their frequent-flier miles. Nowadays Politziner is as selective of clients as they are of him – “I smile every time a client calls – that’s the way we all want it to be.”
