Connecticut · Fund distribution · Since 2011
Connor Robert Houlihan
Connor Houlihan has spent fifteen years distributing funds to advisors and institutions. A documented record, a Connecticut address, and a habit of explaining things plainly.
Most of finance is plumbing. Getting the right fund in front of the right advisor, with the right paperwork, at the right time. I spent fifteen years doing that well.
The floor
Started at Fidelity Investments. Learned the products, the channels, and the regulators before learning anything else.
The road
Wholesaling means driving. Advisor offices, branch meetings, due-diligence sessions — the territory is measured in miles, not decks.
The city
Alternatives, private wealth, RIA channels. Five firms over fifteen years — each one a different corner of the same industry, and each one part of how Connor Houlihan learned the business end to end.
The record
Writing about how the machinery works, and building things in Connecticut. Everything on this site is verifiable — that is the point of it.
Check it yourself.
Anyone can check a securities professional. Look up Connor Houlihan on FINRA BrokerCheck — it lists every firm, every exam, and every disclosure on file. There are none.

Connecticut, on purpose.
Not the city, not Florida. A porch, a kitchen table, and a state that still runs on relationships. Most of my clients were here; so is most of my life.
“The best due diligence I ever did happened at a kitchen table, not a conference.”
