Personal

Benjamin W Deng and his family reside in New York City.  He is a strong believer of family value and community services. He feels very blessed to have a wonderful and supportive family that he has every reason to work so hard for.

Professional

Calling oneself a professional doesn't really make one a professional. Professionalism is defined not only by the measure of one's experience, education and accreditation, but by one's character and professional standard of practice in supporting clients as a trusted financial planner.

Benjamin recognizes that he owes all of his success to his extraordinary clients and to the network of support from both local and home office.

Benjamin brings more than two decades of financial planning and investment management experience to help clients achieve financial prosperity.

How Northwestern Mutual helps you live the life you want.

When people feel better about their money, good things happen—they become more confident and feel more secure. For more than 160 years, Northwestern Mutual has helped people achieve the financial flexibility they need to live more and worry less.

Being a mutual company means Northwestern Mutual reports to its clients, not Wall Street. They don't believe in chasing fads or taking undue risk for short-term gains. Instead, they take a long-term approach—both in the way we help people plan to reach their goals, and in the way they do business. This has served their clients (and mine) well through all kinds of economic ups and downs, including wars, recessions, even the recent pandemic.

It's why I'm happy to be part of a company that's in it for the long-haul and prioritizes clients over profit.
