Scholar Heritage

Scholar Wealth Management is a full-service financial planning firm that serves academics, individuals, business owners and professionals. Stephen Littenberg founded the firm in 2010. Prior to founding Scholar, Stephen was a partner in Gitterman & Associates where he specialized his practice in providing comprehensive planning to academics in the New Jersey State teacher’s pension. He has provided educational seminars for the top universities and colleges in New Jersey and has extensive knowledge in working within the academic community. Working with hundreds of faculty and staff has endeared Stephen to the academic community. The Scholar name embodies the firm’s heritage of serving the university marketplace. 

“When working with academics, it is not uncommon that I am not the most educated person in the room. Many of our clients have PhDs and MBAs from top Ivy League schools and some are regarded as the foremost experts in their field. Still, no one can be an expert in every field and finance can often be complex and confusing. An intelligent person can read magazines and books on investing, watch the financial news and research investments, only to end up with lackluster performance, stress and lost time. A number of my clients are former self-directed investors, and today they are still directing their investments, only now they work with Scholar as a partner. This helps them reduce stress and free up their valuable time. By working with Scholar you are able to pursue your professions, hobbies and dreams.”
