Personal
Hello! I'm KJ Maloney, a dedicated and experienced financial advisor based in the vibrant city of Chicago. As a proud Evans Scholar Alumni from the University of Colorado, I've cultivated a strong foundation in financial principles and have been passionately serving clients in the financial services industry since 2016.
When I'm not helping clients achieve their financial dreams, I enjoy spending my free time on the slopes or the golf course. Skiing and golf are two of my passions, and I find that these activities offer a wonderful balance to my professional life.
Who I Work With
I take great pride in working with a diverse range of clients, each with unique financial goals and aspirations. My clientele includes:
- Young Families: Helping to build a secure financial future for the next generation.
- Physicians: Navigating the complexities of medical careers with tailored financial planning.
- Financial Services Professionals: Providing advice to those who understand the industry.
- Sales Professionals: Crafting strategies that align with dynamic and performance-driven careers.
- Business Owners: Supporting entrepreneurial spirits with comprehensive financial solutions.
My Approach
My approach to financial advising is client-centric and holistic. I believe in empowering my clients through education and personalized strategy development. Whether you're looking to invest, save for your children's education, plan for retirement, or grow your business, I am here to guide you every step of the way.
Lending a hand in my community.
As part of Northwestern Mutual, I'm proud to help accelerate the search for better childhood cancer treatments while supporting families undergoing treatment, and survivors from late effects. Here are some of the organizations we partner with:
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer (ALSF)
ALSF funds cancer research, raises awareness, and supports the families of children with cancer. Since 2012, Northwestern Mutual, its employees, and financial professionals like me have donated more than $20 million to support ALSF and fund over 400,000 research hours.
Beads of Courage
Beads of Courage is an art-in-medicine program that helps kids with cancer tell their unique treatment story through colorful beads that are symbols of their courage.

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.
