Frank advises the firm and its clients from the perspective of Technical Analysis. He is the author of Equities Perspective, a weekly stock market commentary based on supply and demand. Frank likes to say: “While the fundamentals are among the many factors affecting stock prices, they are but one. The charts tell the whole story.”
Frank’s career on Wall Street began at Merrill Lynch where, as he likes to say, he attended the Bob Farrell School of Technical Analysis. Following that, he joined Shields & Company, the predecessor to Wellington Shields.
Frank is an avid tennis player and played competitively while attending Georgetown University. He was President of the 7th Regiment Tennis Club and has also served on various committees of the West Side Tennis Club. He is especially interested in the art of the 1920s and 1930s and is a member of the Art Deco Society of New York.

He also works with clients in discretionary or advisory capacities to build portfolios to meet their unique risk and return requirements. Clients benefit from Alex’s years of experience researching stocks as an equity generalist, and building portfolios as a portfolio manager.
Since merging with Shields & Co. in 2009, Alex has worked as a stock picker for, and eventually co-manager of the Wellington Shields Mutual Funds. Alex joined H.G. Wellington, predecessor firm to Wellington Shields, as an Analyst and Portfolio Manager in 2005.

After college, Alex first worked in sales and business development in the pharmaceutical industry.
Alex and his fiancé love to travel to exotic beach and mountain venues. Rather than traditional relaxation, these vacations often include rock climbing, surfing, jungle exploration and other adventurous pursuits. Running, biking, and competing in triathlons are among his slate of after-work pastimes.
