Barry Feigenbaum

Managing Member

During a 39 year corporate banking career Barry managed relationships with companies in nearly every American industrial sector. In his final 20 years as a banker, Barry focused solely on financial institutions – primarily life insurance companies and asset managers. He developed the problem solving approach of identifying risks and defining alternative product solutions that is the core approach of Feigenbaum Associates.

This work as a banker served as the impetus to expand expertise in financial literacy. In addition to a Wharton MBA in Finance, Barry completed the Certified Financial Planner® education requirement, earned the Retirement Income Certified Professional ® designation from The American College of Financial Services, the Certified Financial Education Instructor® designation from the National Financial Educators Council, and the Registered Social Security Analyst® designation from the National Association of Registered Social Security Analysts (expired.) Beginning in 2016, Barry led retirement planning classes for brokers, advisors and life insurance agents for The American College as an Adjunct Instructor on an independent consultant basis. He served on the Commerzbank US Benefits Committee during which time he gained a buyer’s perspective on financial products. He also created, organized and leads the 10 session financial literacy program on behalf of the Womens’ Rights Information Center in NJ which has assisted women in developing basic financial skills. Barry maintains his FINRA Series 7, 63, and 24 securities industry licenses.

Feigenbaum is a founding member of the National Financial Educators Council Advisory Board for New Jersey.

I took your financial class series a couple of years ago to see if it would be good to recommend it to my clients. I thought of it as just checking out the class on behalf of my clients, but quite frankly, I found the class was actually fantastic and life changing. (I am social worker at an organization that is similar to the Women’s Rights Center. I have since then recommended the class to quite a few of our clients)

As Executive Director of Women’s Rights Information Center, I can say, emphatically, that while we offer numerous programming to support the economic aspirations of clients we serve, without a doubt, our most popular and helpful course is the financial literacy course that Barry Feigenbaum has created and taught. Many desperate clients graduate his class with newfound hope and armed with practical information that helps folks get their lives on track.

For many years, WRIC has considered financial literacy to be an essential component of our mission. As a volunteer, Barry supported our center by creating a 10 week interactive course titled “Manage Your Money With Confidence” The course offered clients an opportunity to develop a healthy relationship with their finances while obtaining the knowledge and confidence to sustain financial stability. Offering expert knowledge and guidance, Barry and his team worked with over 100 clients to enhance their motivation and improve their skills to support a successful financial future. Under Barry’s guidance, the student’s gained a thorough understanding of personal finance, from budgeting and saving to investing and retirement planning. Upon exiting the course, the students were able to make more informed financial decisions and manage their finances more effectively. Many of his students, have reported significant improvements in their financial literacy and confidence.

I just wanted to thank Barry and the rest of the team for the great webinar last week. I have taken that exam too many times over the last few years to remember, and it was the webinar that cleared up enough points to FINALLY put me over the edge…!!
