Christopher Kolba

Christopher brings a distinguished 30-year investment management and financial planning career to Flynn Financial Partners, joining as a senior portfolio manager in June 2024. His expertise is crafting investment strategies meticulously tailored to client goals, investment objectives, and cash flow analysis.

At the heart of Christopher's approach is the utilization of Investor Policy Statements (IPS), which integrates a comprehensive financial planning process. He executes a disciplined "macro to micro" investment strategy, emphasizing responsible risk management, long-term stock holding, below-industry average turnover, and portfolio rebalancing every 6-12 months. Central to his methodology is ensuring low correlation amongst holdings, reducing volatility.

Before his tenure at Flynn Financial, Christopher held roles at AXA Equitable, New York Life, JP Morgan Chase, and Ameriprise Financial. Notably, his global perspective was honed through facilitating international trading negotiations and acting as a liaison between Western European companies and Eastern European markets.

Christopher's academic journey is equally impressive, holding a Master of Engineering Management Degree from Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Poland, and a Ph.D. in Economics from the State University of Management in Moscow, Russia. His commitment to professional excellence is evident through his certification as a Financial Planner in 2008.

Fluent in both Polish and Russian, Christopher resides in Forest Hills, NY, with his wife and daughter, embodying a broad array of experience, expertise, and dedication to the financial industry.
