Nevada Carter
“I really enjoy the problem-solving aspect of this role – what’s the goal, what are the steps we need to take to get there, what are the best tools we can use to efficiently take those steps. It’s like putting a puzzle together, and I find it really fulfilling.”
Nevada takes a pragmatic and analytical approach to servicing clients, as he has enjoyed problem-solving throughout his life. He joins us by way of central Florida, where he excelled at math and economic competitions growing up. “Problem-solving is really enjoyable, I get a lot out of it,” he shares. “When I was a kid, I was better than a lot of the other people so it was something I could be competitive about.”
He graduated from Stetson University, majoring in Economics, and minoring in both Math and Russian Studies. He also used his college years to travel around the U.S. and abroad, studying in Austria and in Japan. Post college, Nevada moved to New York City to join DWS. “There’s a lot to New York. It’s a great city – you can find people who’ve done everything and have had every kind of life and history. There are so many people here, it’s so diverse…and I really do enjoy that.”
Nevada is currently a licensed life/health insurance producer and is studying for the Series 65 Uniform Investment Advisers Law exam. He feels that so many Americans struggle with financial literacy, and he resonates with the mission of helping people to improve their finances. He appreciates that DWS not only is “a great place to learn,” but that it allows him the freedom to tailor his approach in speaking with clients so that it feels genuine and authentic to him. Outside of the office, Nevada enjoys tennis, learning about the tech side of finance, A.I. and genetic engineering.
