About me
Hi, I’m Mike Ladge. After nearly 25 years as a Senior Financial Adviser at Morgan Stanley, I am proud to embark on a new chapter in my wealth management career with RBC Wealth Management beginning in the fall of 2020.
As a Managing Director and Financial Advisor with RBC, I am committed to my clients’ financial prosperity and growth, while also advising them for the long-term success and safety of their portfolios. I am also a part of the Sports, Entertainment & Technology Group in Beverly Hills, California.
After earning my MBA from the Anderson School at UCLA and a Bachelor of Science degree from Syracuse University with a double major in finance and statistics, I initiated my career as an investment advisor with Morgan Stanley in 1996. While there, I also worked as an Executive Director and Sports & Entertainment Director. Prior to that, I earned insightful industry knowledge with UBS and Credit Suisse, (which had acquired DLJ).
In addition, I have been a registered financial advisor with the NFL Players Association since 2006. I also work extensively with icon Jim Brown’s Amer-I-Can Foundation. Jim Brown, after playing golf with me, called me a “tremendous athlete” for whatever that’s worth. I am an avid racquetball player and have won several national and state championships. Originally from Boston, I reside in Bel Air, California with my wife Ripa and our African Grey parrot.
