Experience
Michael L. Bellody is the Founder and CEO of Imperia Wealth Management, where he leads the firm’s investment strategy and portfolio construction. With nearly 30 years of experience across multiple market cycles, Mike is known for bringing institutional-level discipline, independent thinking, and executive judgment to the management of client capital.
He began his career at Prudential and quickly distinguished himself at Prudential Securities, where, at just 25 years old, he was named a Quantum Portfolio Manager—one of the youngest in the firm’s history. Managing portfolios at that stage of his career required real-time decision-making and accountability, shaping a disciplined investment philosophy grounded in risk management, patience, and long-term thinking.
Over the course of his career, Mike has held senior roles at Merrill Lynch, Mellon Advisor Services, Fisher
Investments, and Securian Advisors of New England. As a Vice President at Fisher Investments, he was part of a tenured leadership group that helped drive significant asset growth and played a direct role in training and
developing Fisher's Vice Presidents nationwide. Throughout his career, he has consistently been recognized for performance and leadership, reflecting a track record of both results and responsibility.
In 2020, Mike founded Imperia Wealth Management to challenge the traditional advisory model. His vision was to move away from product-driven advice and toward a more disciplined, strategy-first approach focused on long-term outcomes. As Chief Portfolio Strategist, he is directly responsible for the investment decisions that impact client portfolios—bringing a level of accountability, alignment, and ownership that is often missing in the industry.
Mike’s perspective is shaped not only by decades of portfolio management, but by his experience building and
leading a firm. He approaches wealth the same way he approaches leadership: with clarity, discipline, and a
commitment to making decisions that stand the test of time.

boards of two nonprofit organizations, Christopher’s Haven and ResearchILD.
