About Us

At Marché Wealth, we don’t just manage portfolios — We Foster Lasting Relationships

Who We Are

Built on decades of Wall Street experience, Marché Private Wealth is a boutique, family-led wealth advisory firm rooted in a commitment to helping clients turn financial uncertainty into confidence. Founded by Victoria Abrams and her late business partner John Halasz, the firm was created with a vision to redefine the advisor–client infrastructure — By offering personalized, relationship-driven financial guidance to help families grow, help protect, and transfer their wealth with clarity and purpose.

 

Our Founders Story

Victoria Abrams’ life and career in the heart of the world’s largest financial sector began at a time when few women were making their mark on Wall Street. Upon obtaining undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Maryland and Cornell University, she arrived in Manhattan in the 1980s and has considered it home ever since.

 

She entered into an ultra-competitive internship program at Lehman Brothers, where over 100 candidates vied for just a few available positions. Victoria was one of only a small number of women hired, securing her place through grit, intelligence, and determination.

Over the next 18 years, she rose through the ranks to become Principal Managing Director at Bear Stearns, building a reputation as a trusted partner to high-net-worth clients and a powerful force in the financial services industry.

 

Throughout her career, Victoria has specialized in wealth management investment consulting for hundreds of individuals, businesses, and families. From managing IRA and ERISA plans to introducing clients to proprietary investment products, her financial guidance is rooted in a rigorous work ethic and a deeply personal approach to client relationships. With decades of experience in strategic financial planning, she is known for her insight in anticipating market trends to help protect her clients’ legacies.

 

Following the 2008 financial crisis, Victoria continued her work at boutique firms and Morgan Stanley before co-founding Marché Wealth in 2012 alongside her friend and business partner, John Halasz. Together, the pair built a private wealth management firm rooted in their shared principles of integrity, individualized service, and unwavering dedication to their clients’ long-term goals. The pair worked side-by-side for over a decade, until a tragic diagnosis led John to step away from the firm far earlier than either of them had ever imagined. In 2024, John passed away following a brave and dignified fight against ALS, leaving an enduring mark on all who knew him. Following his death, Victoria resolved to carry forward the firm’s mission and core principles — honoring John’s legacy while guiding Marché into its next chapter.

Marché Today

Led today by Victoria and her daughter Lauren — who had long aspired to join her mother in building a family-led legacy — the firm offers a unique generational perspective on modern wealth management. At Marché Wealth, the mother–daughter team — alongside their dedicated partners — are devoted to helping their clients achieve financial independence, guided by a philosophy that is as timeless as it is forward-thinking: Wealth is not just built — it is nurtured, protected, and passed on through generations.

Our Clients

Our clients trust us with one of life’s most personal and valuable assets — their financial future. We pride ourselves on honoring that trust with unwavering accessibility, giving our clients direct, on-call access to us — day or night — to reassure them that we are here whenever needed.

During periods of market uncertainty, we offer more than just fiscal guidance — we’re a steady voice of perspective and reassurance, providing both financial clarity and emotional confidence when it matters most.

Since the firm’s founding, we have faithfully provided both short and long-term financial guidance to a diverse range of clients: from lawyers and physicians to single-parent families and pre-retirees seeking stability in uncertain markets. Whether you’re building your career, growing your family, or planning for the future — we take the time to develop personalized strategies for each, and all of our clients, and tailor our experience to align with your unique goals. At Marché, our clients come to us for more than just investment advice — they come for grounded, trustworthy guidance — and they stay because we treat them like family.
