Ryan O Quinn

Ryan T. O'Quinn, CFA, is a Principal and Investment Consultant at Prime Buchholz, an independent, employee-owned investment consulting firm founded in 1988 and headquartered in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. He entered the investment industry in 1996 and joined Prime Buchholz in 2001. In his consulting role he advises clients across the full lifecycle of their investment programs — from the development of the investment policy statement through structural implementation and ongoing investment-manager evaluation.

Within the firm he co-heads the Private Client Practice Group and sits on the Global Equity Asset Class Committee as well as the firm's People and Culture and Belonging Council. Prime Buchholz works with institutional clients (such as endowments, foundations, and nonprofits) and high-net-worth private clients, providing services including asset allocation, manager research, risk monitoring, and performance reporting.

Before Prime Buchholz, O'Quinn was a pension regulatory consultant at John Hancock and an investment education specialist at The Vanguard Group. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from the University of New Hampshire (Peter T. Paul College / formerly the Whittemore School of Business and Economics) and is a CFA charterholder and member of the CFA Institute and CFA Society Boston.

• Works on the advisory/consulting side rather than as a check-writing angel: helps clients build and oversee diversified, multi-asset-class portfolios.
• Focus areas reflect his firm committees — global equities and overall investment-program structure (policy, implementation, manager selection).
• Serves both institutional (endowment/foundation/nonprofit) and private wealth clients through the firm's Private Client Practice Group.
• No publicly stated personal startup/seed investment thesis was found; the "Seed Round" stage tag in the source data could not be verified against any primary source.
