About William “Bill” Munro

Prior to partnering with Brian Kinney to form KinneyMunro, William "Bill" Munro spent nearly three decades working at JPMorgan delivering innovative investment solutions, counsel and advice to some of the largest institutional investors globally. He has helped clients navigate volatile markets, geopolitical instability and liquidity crises.

During Bill's career, he rose from an entry-level position on the trading desk to executive director/senior relationship manager. He has worked with institutional investor clients within the money management, insurance, hedge fund, pension fund and family office universe.

As co-founder of KinneyMunro, Bill leverages his investment experience, insights and principles to create long-term, tailored investment plans with a focus on low costs and liquidity and aligned with clients’ wealth goals, personal circumstances and risk tolerance. He is passionate about sharing his knowledge on markets and investment options with the goal of preserving and growing clients’ wealth.

Bill earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Boston University. Away from the office, he enjoys spending time with his wife and three sons, fishing, golfing and cooking. He has been involved with the Bucknell University Parents Board, Boy Scouts (his oldest son is an Eagle Scout), City Year, and mentoring younger colleagues.

Our Beliefs

✔️ You can't replace real investment experience.

✔️ Smart tax and estate planning can contribute to better outcomes for clients.

✔️ Avoid trendy investment products.

✔️ Investment advice without context is noise.

✔️ Fees matter; understand what you are paying for.

✔️ Take a long-term perspective, don't overreact to near-term market movements.

✔️ Simplicity typically wins over complexity.
