We understand that an investment with us is also in us, and we never lose sight of what that means.
-Alan J Corey Glassman, Vice President
Honest. Inventive. Laser-sharp.
Alan J. Corey Glassman, Vice President, draws from a wealth of his own family-business experience to deliver for his clients. The result is an attention to what matters most: sound investment analysis, strategic solutions and agile advisory.
The formula for success is one part business, one part human.
Alan provides investment and business advice to entrepreneurs, family businesses and family groups internationally. He also serves on a number of advisory boards providing advice to charitable organizations and small businesses. His approach is holistic. He understands the importance of balancing his clients’ business goals and objectives with their need to create a successful path for the generations who will follow in their footsteps. To this end, it’s not surprising to find him assisting clients in all aspects of their business, as well as teaching the fundamentals of financing and investing to their children.
Experience is the best teacher.
Alan graduated from New York University in 1977 having fulfilled the requirements for Bachelor of Science degrees in Economics, Finance, Business Management and Marketing. He began his career in management as VP of G&G Sewing Machine Co., Inc. and MUVA Needle Company, assuming the position of President in 1981. He orchestrated a multiyear acquisition strategy to ensure continued growth of the corporation. As a result, Atlas Rapid Racks, Inc., Automated Components, International, Silverman International, Schreiber and Goldberg Limited, and SAL-BEE Limited were acquired over a period of years. In addition, P.S.R Company, the research and development arm of G&G Sewing Machine Co., was restructured and spun off into a separate corporation. These companies, which manufactured and distributed machinery and devices for the textile and apparel industries, developed and held more than 20 patents. Alan owned and operated these businesses until 1997 when he sold them and joined Riggs Asset Management Co., Inc.
Alan doesn’t have an off switch. There’s a good chance you’ll find him talking shop in between touchdowns, stirring up a conversation about the market over dessert or helping a charitable organization find new ways to profit in his downtime.
Alan and his wife, Laurel, have been married for more than 40 years. They are proud parents and grandparents. Alan enjoys traveling to New York and Philadelphia to spend time with his granddaughters, son and daughter-in-law.
Alan is passionate about helping people thrive. When you pair that with his love for business and finance, it’s easy to understand why he spends so much free time helping family and friends with their businesses and finances.
Every once in a while, Alan heads to the links where he tears up the course—literally. Then he waits a couple of weeks before playing golf again to give the greens a chance to recover. Everyone has a talent, right?
