GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Innovia Wealth recently announced that Greg Bosch, CFA, CAIA has joined the independent registered investment advisor and wealth management firm as chief investment officer.

Bosch will assume the role of CIO from Aaron Veldheer, a Managing Director at Innovia Wealth. As CIO, Bosch will direct the Grand Rapids and Chicago-based firm’s investment activities and lead its team of investment professionals. The scope of Bosch’s work will also entail optimizing public stock and bond portfolios as well as collaborating with Innovia’s network of world-class private investment managers.

“There is no one like Greg in West Michigan — he is unique among the Midwest wealth management sphere and beyond,” said Veldheer. “He discerns investment opportunities with Wall Street acumen. More importantly, Greg has ample experience and excelled within both the wealth management and family office spaces. He perfectly complements our existing capabilities and will elevate our services to even greater heights.”

Prior to joining Innovia, Bosch acted as a Portfolio Manager for a West Michigan family office, sourcing and overseeing all assets including stocks, bonds, and private market investments. He previously served as a Senior Financial Analyst with a national financial institution, where he led research and made corresponding portfolio recommendations for an extensive variety of clients. In this role, Bosch managed multiple billions of wealth and directly oversaw 10 portfolios valued at more than $100 million for an array of clients with wide-ranging needs. This included family offices, endowments, pensions, and ultra-high-net-worth investors.

Bosch’s proven track record of successful investment strategies and deep ties to the Midwest make him a natural fit for Innovia’s leadership team.
