Founder David Kuenzi, CFP®

Before founding Thun Financial, David Kuenzi worked for more than ten years as a securities analyst and institutional broker. He learned from the inside how the investment management industry's traditional commissioned-based system of compensation creates conflicts of interest, which lead to investors being given bad or incomplete financial counsel. The result is Thun Financial Advisors, a fee-only investment management firm, dedicated to helping clients meet their long-term financial objectives unencumbered by these conflicts of interest.

David Kuenzi is a Certified Financial Planner® and has previously held positions with Chase Manhattan Bank, Deutsche Bank and Bank Austria. His financial industry career included postings in New York, London and Moscow. Kuenzi grew up in Wisconsin but spent most of his professional career in New York City and in Europe, before returning to the Midwest in 2005. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Wisconsin and completed graduate work in politics and economics at Columbia University and Harvard University before launching a career in finance.
