Dominick Paoloni, CIMA

CIO and Founder, IPS Strategic Capital 

As the esteemed Founder and Chief Investment Officer (CIO) of IPS Strategic Capital, Dominick Paoloni has dedicated over 35 years of his career to serving the investment community. Having started his journey on Wall Street as a broker, Dominick discerned the limitations of the brokerage model and, in 1993, established IPS Strategic Capital to ensure complete alignment of his incentives with the best interests of his clients.

Dominick’s credentials include the prestigious Certified Investment Management Analyst (CIMA®) certification, earned through the Wharton School of Business, and completion of the College for Financial Planning’s CFP certification program.

Beyond his role at IPS Strategic Capital, Dominick actively contributes as an adjunct professor at the University of Colorado and the University of Denver. He frequently imparts his expertise on real-world applications of risk-defined money management approaches to his students.

Dominick’s reputation extends to the national level, as he is recognized as a prominent writer, facilitator, radio host, and commentator. In 2009, Morningstar Advisor Magazine acknowledged him for skillfully protecting his clients during the 2008 market downturn with innovative portfolios that incurred only a small fraction of the market’s losses. His insights and accomplishments have garnered attention in numerous publications, including EQ Derivatives Magazine, Financial Planning Magazine, the Denver Post, and the Journal of Investment Consulting, where he has published two influential white papers.

With such an illustrious career and commitment to safeguarding clients’ interests, Dominick Paoloni continues to be a leading force in the investment industry, guiding his clients toward financial security and success.
