About Matthew
I joined Crew Capital Management in 2014 when Rob agreed to fold my fledgling registered investment adviser, Swendiman Wealth Strategies (“SWS”), into Crew. I started SWS because I wanted to help individuals and families. What I learned during that time, however, is that I was better at helping business owners grow and develop their practices. This led me to found Key Bridge Compliance, with Crew serving as one of our first clients. In so doing, I could help small business owners and the individuals and families that they served.
My wife, Jen, and I live in Park Hills, KY, and we are proud parents to Jack, Charlie and Maggie (and we are excited to be adding Jack’s fiancé, Stephanie, to our family in 2023). With one grown son and two teen/tweens at home, we stay busy with sports, music, and school activities of all kinds. We are thrilled to call Northern Kentucky home.
What I do For crew and you
I am generally responsible for Crew Capital’s legal and compliance matters, as well as much of our work in the private placement insurance space. As a CFA charter holder, I enjoy supporting Rob and the investment team with our client’s investment needs, and I am fortunate, as an investment advisory representative of Crew, to continue to serve a small number of our clients.
Work Experience
I began my investment management career in 1996 in the transfer agent and legal and compliance department for a large third-party mutual fund administrator. Thereafter, I served as counsel to Conseco Capital Management, a multi-billion dollar institutional investment management firm located in Carmel, IN. In 2002, I joined The Phoenix Companies in Hartford, CT, where I served as Chief Legal Officer and Secretary for the Phoenix (now Virtus) mutual fund complex. During my time at Phoenix, I earned the CLU and ChFC designations from The American College.
I later served as an investment management associate in the Washington, DC office of K&L Gates, an international law firm. In 2006, I joined Fifth Third Bank in Cincinnati, OH, where I served as the Chief Administrative Officer for Fifth Third’s institutional investment management business, in addition to providing legal support to Fifth Third’s broker-dealer, insurance and custody operations, and serving as Secretary and Chief Legal Officer to the Fifth Third Funds, a mutual fund trust with twenty-four series. While at Fifth Third, I earned my CFA charter.
Today ,in addition to my work with Crew, I am Chief Executive Officer of Key Bridge Compliance, LLC and I am co-founder and Chairman of F/m Acceleration LLC, a back and middle office solution provider for registered investment advisers, including its subsidiary adviser, F/m Investments.
Education
I have earned my BA in Political Science, as well as my JD, from The Ohio State University. While in law school, I attended the Oxford University Summer Program, and I also earned an LLM in Insurance Law from the University of Connecticut.
