Meet Your Team

Michael J. Dolberg is the CEO and a Founding Partner at Apollon Wealth Management, a collaborative and transparent financial planning firm focused on aligning client’s goals of growing and preserving their hard-earned wealth. Upon conception, Apollon set out to change the retail model for investments away from a product platform to one that is 100% client driven. With exceptional white glove service, Michael has executed the founding partners’ vision of creating an independent organization with the sole mission of enriching the lives of others through concerted financial planning and guidance.

Michael offers a unique value proposition to advisors and clients alike through Apollon’s equity partners in New York. Apollon has partnered with Merchant Investment Management, LLC, a private partnership providing management oversight, resources, strategic opportunities and direction to independent financial services companies. The Merchant team adds decades of experience and resources having held senior roles in financial services at Goldman Sachs, Apollo Global Management, Skybridge Capital, Focus Financial Partners and Purshe Kaplan Sterling Investments.

With passion and purpose, Michael and his team have created a launch pad for advisor independence built with a seamless transition process for clients. Driven to expand the firm’s footprint on the East Coast, Apollon possesses an open architecture environment, centralized back-office (with a full operations, technology and marketing team) and unified advisor integration, onboarding and acquisition systems. Since conception in February 2018, Apollon has opened 5 locations in the southeast. Michael’s Charleston office is a current finalist for the title of “Best Financial Planner” for 2019 and was a finalist for “Best Investment Firm” in 2018 with the Charleston City Paper and The Post and Courier, respectively.

He began his career in 2004 and was appointed Managing Director at the age of 25, one year later.

David joined Apollon Wealth Management in February 2020 to provide a more intimate and specialized experience for his clients. David believes that providing financial advice is similar to completing a jigsaw puzzle; working on too many puzzles at one time can sometimes lead to missing pieces. Unlike a jigsaw puzzle, there is no printed picture on a box to model one’s path to financial success. Therefore, David values working with a limited number of families so that he can dedicate his time and fiduciary duty to aligning each family’s goals with their various financial “puzzle pieces.” David has a special interest in providing highly tailored, multi-generational planning and investment strategies to families who share a passion for entrepreneurship, philanthropy, and caring for those with disabilities or special needs.

David graduated from McGill University with a degree in economics with a concentration in finance. He is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNERTM and CFA Level 1 Candidate. Outside of his professional capacity at Apollon, David serves as Treasurer of the Columbia Jewish Federation and Financial Secretary of Beth Shalom Synagogue. He also serves on the boards of Family Connection South Carolina, the Contemporaries of the Columbia Museum of Art, and Leadership Columbia. David is a graduate of the 2015 Leadership Columbia class and was named in Columbia Business Monthly’s Best and Brightest 35 and Under at the age of 26. In his spare time, David enjoys working on his 1951 Plymouth restoration project. He lives in Lexington, SC with his wife, Abigail, and his daughter, Mila.

My focus when working with clients is to simplify their financial world. We live in a time of rapid change and seemingly limitless information that can easily become overwhelming. You work hard, prioritize family, friends and I’m sure have many other activities that require your time. How often do you take time to yourself to sit down and really look at what you want out of life? What are you saving for? Why do you have all those insurance policies? How does it all connect?

The first step in our relationship is to remove the noise and dedicate real time to identifying your goals. The sooner we identify what you’re working towards and why; the sooner we can maximize the efficiency of what you’re doing. In many cases, professionals are already assisting in key areas, but I’ve found it’s rare that the team communicates and the person in charge of overseeing everything is you. Our goal is to lift that burden from your shoulders and operate as the architect of your financial plan.

In addition to the knowledge I’ve acquired in the areas of investments, tax mitigation, insurance, and estate planning, I’m fortunate to have an experienced team behind me to collaborate with as we work towards delivering a comprehensive plan of action. We operate under the Fiduciary standard and remain invested in your best interest at all times. I look forward to the opportunity to hear your story and help you gain clarity on the chapters ahead.
