As a Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor CRPC® and with over 16 years of experience, Zaim Hajdari has served as a Financial Consultant, committed to providing his clients with the highest level of service and financial advice. Over the course of his career, he has developed a client service philosophy that focuses on fostering highly personal and attentive relationships and delivering customized, objective services. He believes that the key to financial success lies in comprehensive financial planning and utilizing a consultative approach, he works to help his clients manage, preserve, and transfer their wealth.
Utilizing asset allocation strategies and risk management techniques, Zaim takes a holistic approach to financial planning and comprehensive wealth management. He looks at each investor-whether an individual, a family or a corporation-as an individual with unique needs and goals. Whatever is important to his clients is important to their financial plan-their home, business, children’s education and more. And while understanding their finances is one part of the financial planning process, Zaim believes understanding them is the most crucial. Taking a “listen first” approach, once he fully understands his clients both personally and professionally, he is able to craft strategies and solutions that fit their lives, and their lifestyles. He also believes the investment process is circular and conducts periodic reviews to track portfolio progress and, if necessary, reevaluate strategies in relation to changes in the market conditions and/ or client objectives.
Zaim’s accomplished career in the financial services industry began in 1994 while still attending the City University of New York. Prior to joining Raymond James, he spent seven years with J.P Morgan Chase, where he worked his way up to Senior Vice President and Investment Manager of the NYC Retail Investment Services Division, overseeing more than 50 branch offices and nearly $2 billion in assets. Throughout his career with that firm, he was consistently recognized as one of their top financial advisors and managers nationally. In June of 2009, he made a transition to Raymond James, and established The Hajdari Group at 14 Wall Street in the heart of the financial district of NY, attracted by the firm’s long history of strength and stability, as well as its independent culture and mission focused on meeting the needs of each individual investor.
But Zaim also recognizes the importance of community engagement and giving back. As such, he currently serves on the Board of Directors for Green Earth Maintenance Services, and is an active member of the U.S. Green Building Council and Iron Hills Civic Association, as well as proud supporter of Ameri-Cares and the National Albanian American Council, among others. In addition, he was featured in a New York Times article for his work with the Principle for a Day Program, and his generosity and commitment to public education and support through civic involvement.
In Zaim’s time away from the office, he enjoys spending time with his wife and their 2 son’s, as well as fishing, boating, international travel-particularly to his home in Montenegro, on the Adriatic coast-along with golf at the Richmond County Country Club where he is a member.
Zaim has been helping me and my family save and invest our hard earned money in the most efficient way and in accordance with our lifestyle. We are very risk averse with our savings and for over 15 years Zaim has successfully managed our money in a conservative manner. He is always accessible and has truly become my go to man anytime I have a question related to finance or business. I have referred him to friends who have thanked me over and over again. Zaim has become more like family to us. There is nobody we would trust more to help us with our financial planning a and investing needs. If you need financial help don't walk, run to his office.

I am a founding partner of a New York City Law Firm named Elefterakis, Elefterakis & Panek. I employ over 10 attorneys. I use Ziam for financial planning both personally and for my business. He has proven to be extremely creative and skilled. Above all else, he has proven to be trustworthy. I have gotten to know Ziam personally and consider him a friend as I'm sure most of his clients do. Any review to the contrary I would challenge especially the disparaging comments from individuals who remain anonymous.
If anyone is thinking of using Ziam and the Hajdari Group, feel free to call me as a reference. My office number is (212) 532-1116. My name is John Elefterakis.

Mr. Hajdari has been my family’s Investment Advisor for well over a decade. His experience and product knowledge in various investment vehicles is evident when you speak with him. His advise on investments both retirement and collage savings helped my family prepare for the financial milestones we all experience in life. My parents in their 70’s, my children in their 20’s and my husband and I have seen the lasting affects of having Zaim as our Investment Advisor. Like the previous poster said “There is no one else I would trust more with my money “ .

I first met this loser when he was giving horrible advice at the bank. He is a fraud and if you have money with this guy your crazy. He sells only the highest commission products. Look elsewhere for investment advice. Better off playing the lotto. He is one of the people who gives Wall St a bad name. He's such a loser.

perfectpavers , jerryharryhill, samb, I know who you are regardless of the various screen names you choose to use (by the way you used the same picture with 2 different screen names in your pathetic attempt to try to trick readers). I asked you in the past to please refrain from making slanderous comments. Sorry you just weren't qualified to be employed by my firm. you really should start using your time more productively. My reputation speaks for itself. If you wish to discuss your frustrations face to face like a man instead of hiding behind made up screen names and false profile pics you know how to reach me and where to find me...... I'd still be happy to try and help you but just because you couldn't make it in finance you shouldn't be ashamed of laying pavers for a living.

I first met Ziam at a bank in Brooklyn. I was sitting in his office while he was with another client. On his desk, in a picture frame was this saying that I will never forget. "Most of us spend a significant portion of our lives searching for trusted Advisors. A good Doctor, Lawyer, a good accountant, car mechanic, and a good money manager. If we find these people life becomes easier. Trusted Advisors relieves the client of responsibility he or she can't or doesn't want to handle. This is the type of person I strive to be". At that moment, without even talking with him, I knew I found my guy. That was ten years ago. In that time Ziam has helped my Family secure our future though investing, life insurance, and advise on buying a new home that we live in today. But what makes Z (as I refer to him ) different, I have a nephew through marriage who lives in Poland. He is studying Finance (in english) at Kozminski Univ. He spent a month with us this past summer. I asked Z if I could give him a tour of his office, meet members of his team, answer some of his questions etc... Well, that wasn't enough. Ziam had my nephew on the floor of the NYSE, the biggest stage in the world for the opening bell.. WOW!!! The look on my nephew's face was priceless, a day he will never forget. THANKS Z.

Zaim Hajdari is not only a great financial advisor, but also a great person overall. When I met Zaim, I had just moved to New York City to further my career in finance and was applying for a position he had open. We met for an interview and he insisted on taking me out to lunch before beginning the formal interview. He is the type of person who wants to get to know anyone he does business with because he knows that the core of any successful wealth management firm is composed of close relationships between advisor and client. He views his clients as much more than that, and he would even go so far to call them his friends; this in turn makes him more motivated to deliver a better quality of care. After another successful interview, he ended up giving me the position.
Yes, Ziam is my boss, but I am privileged enough to work closely with him daily and get to know him on a personal level. From what I have seen thus far, I can tell you that he is truly a great guy both in front of clients and when it is just the two of us. His passion and drive for giving his clients the best possible experience does not change once a client steps out of his office. He is also personally mentoring me and sponsoring me to get my financial licenses. Needless to say, he quite simply loves his job and is all about self improvement. He is constantly learning and reading about the industry to further his knowledge and better the services he can deliver to his clients. Zaim is a one of a kind financial advisor that is dedicated to his clients 110%, something that is hard to find at other companies.
