Ziad K Abdelnour | Financial Policy Services

In a world where so many organizations, corporations, and people are going irrationally woke, the Financial Policy Council stands singularly tall and undeterred in our quest to advance the cause of freedom through financial strength. We are a select and curated group of high performing businessmen and women who wield great influence in our respective markets courageously alerting others to the dangers of socialism and demonstrating the freeing effects of knowledge, education, and financial independence. Financial independence not only allows us to rid ourselves of the shackles of corporate greed and governmental slavery, but it enables us to truly help others who are struggling to find their way through the murky waters of this modern rush to globalism.

Ihave had the privilege of being associated with the Financial Policy Council for many years and serving as a Board member for the past two. This exceptional organization operates at the epicenter of New York's financial and business district, drawing an elite crowd of top-tier financiers, billionaires, and groundbreaking entrepreneurs from the most critical business sectors. For an outsider like me, it has been the perfect environment to build invaluable connections, forge priceless relationships, and gain deep insights into high-level business operations. But don't think this is merely a social club. Joining the FPC means being ready to dive in and contribute actively. Personally, I have had the opportunity to sponsor three events, co-author a groundbreaking 70-page white paper on energy, and contribute multiple blog posts. You don't go to the prom to sit on the sidelines and be a wallflower, you go to the prom to get busy with the prom queen. Do it!

In today’s world, full of propaganda and fake news, FPC stands out, as a fully-independent, not-for-profit organization, committed to tell the truth; no hidden agenda, no strings attached. If you want to learn the real truth about the U.S. and the world, about specific industries and asset classes (cryptocurrencies, blockchain, energy, metals, art, healthcare, real estate, etc.), and meet like-minded people, look no further. This is the gathering of warriors and wealth creators: investors, entrepreneurs, deal-makers and power brokers. All board members and panelists have skin in the game, so there is no theorizing and debating for the sake of debating. FPC, led by its founder and chairman, Ziad Abdelnour, enforces a no-nonsense, unapologetic way of looking at the world. All events and proprietary papers have one laser-focused mission: provide its audience with the right high-level intelligence in order to accurately understand the world and make money. It’s provocative, focused, and on point. You will love it, or hate it. No in between. Ignore it at your own peril. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Paul Vancea

I am a co-founding board member of the Financial Policy Council (FPC). During the last 7 years, I witnessed the growth of FPC from its inception to hundreds of thousands of global followers today. The quality of events hosted by FPC focusing on the most current topics with eminent speakers made it possible for such a growth. Each and every event hosted by FPC was unique and successful in connecting Wall Street, Main Street and Washington to promote entrepreneurship and enabled people to create wealth. Personally, it gave me an opportunity to meet and network with many successful entrepreneurs through FPC and benefit. I strongly advise people to attend FPC events, be part of decision making and take advantage of the platform to learn the art of wealth creation.

Hari Eppanapally

I had the privilege to attend several FPC events lately. They were inspiring and professionally enriching. Brainstorming and connecting with like-minded professionals and businessmen/businesswomen made my trip from London worthy.

Fabrizio Poli

Becoming a member of the Financial Policy Council has been the best move I have made this year. It has given me a forum to reach and assist others in empowering them to become more responsible members of society and to make real changes in how this country is being run. The ability to connect with the masses and help educate them on what we can do to make this country great again is what makes the FPC such a powerhouse!

Josh Gattuso

As a Physician Leader and Entrepreneur, I initially joined the FPC out of curiosity and a simple interest in expanding my network. I possess an annoyingly Northward pointing ethical compass without a dynamic ship to lash it on to. What I received from Ziad and the FPC is far more than I expected. I am now honored and blessed to be an active participant in a group that is intent on returning America to greatness. Ziad and his team do not disappoint. Ziad’s unapologetic lion-like persona is piloting REAL TRANSFORMATION where it is needed and necessary. The FPC has literally opened the world for my company EraDOCate, and for me personally. The FPC is about learning strategies from best-in-class financial experts while simultaneously bringing your own expertise to bear toward impactful change. This strong and diverse group has altered my view of doing business and has skyrocketed my understanding of digital currency, banking, marketing, and financial success. Ziad and his team have openly shared their knowledge, while holding me accountable to contribute back mine toward their epic efforts. The FPC is an EXPERIENCE for those who are courageous enough to embrace it.

Martin Johns

My association with the FPC has been a remarkable journey of professional and personal growth. The FPC has an unwavering dedication to principles that drives positive change. As an innovative surgeon I have always been dedicated to improving the well-being of my patients. It wasn't until I joined the FPC that I recognized the profound impact of integrating proven economic principles and limited government into healthcare policy. The FPC’s commitment to fostering a strong society through rigorous policy papers and dynamic live meetings has allowed me to collaborate with experts from diverse asset classes. These mavericks and rugged individualists bring innovative perspectives that continually challenge and inspire me.

Gregory Laurence

If you are looking for Bold Business Leadership and have the Entrepreneurial drive to Get Stuff Done with a group of like-minded Subject Matter Experts, then the Financial Policy Counsel is the place for you to join. Amazing group of people with insights second to none. Join us and be a part of decisions that will shape your future & the world.

Paul Mourino

Ziad is the rarest of leaders you will find anywhere. An unapologetic capitalist who has successfully fought and blazed a trail to the top of the investor world, Ziad has led and mentored many to follow his path of creating value, fostering liberty. Ziad loves this nation; his passion for the Constitution, self-governance, meritocracy and freedom come through in every thought and word. A gifted writer and creator, he continues to pass his wisdom on through vehicles he created in the Financial Policy Council and the Project Liberty Group. Ziad's direct, blunt style are appreciated by men and women who could be characterized as "steel-jawed doers." If Ayn Rand were alive today, surely she would be highlighting Ziad's work as the ideal. Given today's perilous environment, levied on civil society by the weak and corrupt, we need more like Ziad Abdelnour who will stand up and aggressively push back.

Blaine Holt

I consider it a distinct privilege to wholeheartedly recommend Ziad Abdelnour, an exceptional leader in the financial industry. From the moment I met Ziad, I recognized his potential to significantly influence my work. Ziad's dedication to elevating the financial success and education of his colleagues is truly admirable. Beyond his successful business dealings, Ziad selflessly leads at the Financial Policy Council. Here, he consistently demonstrates a genuine commitment to fostering the success of individuals across various industries, recognizing that a collective national benefit stems from their success. I have yet to encounter another individual at his level who gives of his time, and invests personally in others success, as generously as Ziad does.

Jeannette Skinner

The Financial Policy Council is a unique group of talented people who are getting things done! We are a strong group of capitalists and like-minded individuals. Motivation and consistency are two things you will learn from the best here. Also, as our chairman says, "One of the hardest decisions you'll ever face in life is choosing whether to walk away or try harder." - this speaks for itself.

Tomas Milar

The wealth of intelligence shared by experts in their field is just impeccable. Mr. Abdelnour assembles the best, the brightest and most successful entrepreneurs on topics of critical importance. I learned so much in a short time. Highly recommend this forum if you want to win!

With the fire of liberty burning brightly in my heart, I stand as a living testament to the transformative power of the Financial Policy Council. From the moment I joined this bastion of freedom, I felt the spirit of our Founding Fathers coursing through my veins, igniting a renewed sense of purpose and vigor in my life. The FPC isn't merely an organization; it's a sacred crucible where wisdom meets vigor, forging an unbreakable chain of patriotic defenders. Here, I've found my ultimate calling - to be a bridge between our glorious past and our destined future, mentoring the torchbearers of tomorrow in the timeless principles of free enterprise, wealth creation and individual liberty. Through the FPC, my voice has become a clarion call, rallying patriots young and old against the encroaching shadows of American Marxism and moral decay. In a world adrift in relativism, the FPC stands as an unshakeable lighthouse of truth, our beam cutting through the fog of deceit with the piercing light of eternal verities. The FPC has consecrated me as a high priest in the church of capitalism, a living saint of free enterprise. It has given my most productive years not just purpose, but cosmic significance. Here, I fulfill my destiny: to be the incorruptible guardian of freedom's flame, the tireless sower of patriotism's seeds. May God continue to bless the Financial Policy Council and these United States of America. May He grant us the strength to be worthy stewards of the precious freedoms He has bestowed upon us!

I see Financial Policy Council (FPC) as a Think & Do tank masterfully producing high-impact events, power summits, and research. Engaging in the FPC mission is an opportunity to join a 300,000+ member-base to inform and institute policies that ensure Americans (you) are not only able but are continually empowered to make money. It is powered by alpha wealth creators, game-changers and financiers. The organization’s makeup and guiding principles lends an authoritative voice on economic affairs. As an action-orientated and education platform, FPC engagements bridge policy and business to bolster American prosperity and market health. I am based in California and have had the opportunity to participate in two FPC events in NYC. On both occasions, attendees, panelists and sponsors alike were presented with abundant opportunities to network with leaders, entrepreneurs, and decision makers spanning industry. Event 1: I attended the “Oil and Gold Near Term Outlook” event October 2017, where a distinguished panel shared insight based on their personal and professional experiences. This included educating the audience on crude oil derivatives, trading, the global impact of oil derivatives transactions and beyond. Event 2: The second FPC event I attended was a “Blockchain and Digital Currency” power summit November 2017. The panel’s discussions provided a simplified, yet thoughtful and transparent means to understand the highly publicized asset class. It concluded with a QA in which 30+ attendees eagerly waited their turn on the mic for an opportunity to engage with the panelists directly. Bottom line: Access, actionable-intelligence, and impact all in one place. I strongly recommend any wealth creator and American patriot to join this amazing platform and spread the message.

I started my core Technology company, Computronix 20 years ago and in all those years I would have to say that the Financial Policy Council (FPC) events are definitely some of the highest caliber business events I have ever attended. The FPC is a public policy-oriented organization which seeks to educate and inform the public about economic and fiscal matters based on the principles of free enterprise and wealth creation as envisioned by the ideals of the American Founding Fathers. The FPC bring together influencers and experts around key topics where they breakdown the economic impact and provide attendees with key takeaways that they can use to create and preserve wealth. Past events included cryptocurrency/blockchain, real estate, artificial intelligence, healthcare, emerging markets, digital marketing and many others. Most importantly, I ALWAYS meet and mingle with like-minded business people, several of which have become clients and business partners! I truly recommend that you attend a FPC event and get involved!

Barry Monies

President & CEO

Computronix

“After following Mr Abdelnour for over a year now I got the pleasure of meeting him in person at the seminar. The guest panelists were deeply informative with excellent overview of the subject matter and delivered the information in an engaging yet substantive way. Speakers kept my undivided attention the entire time — extremely impressive. This was probably the best seminar I have attended this year! Thank you! I will be sure to return for another.”

Andre Taylor

Attendee of the Financial Policy Council ‘Blockchain and Digital Currency’ seminar.

I attended the latest cryptocurrency event FPC hosted. I found the event very informative, timely and helpful. At a time where Bitcoin headlines where everywhere, it was good to be able to have a deep dive into the blockchain technology behind the headlines, the other cryptocurrencies that don't get as much air time, and to be able to hear all of that from practitioners in the field, people with "skin in the game", not academics. Great organization. Superb event.

Marc Malek

Managing Partner

Conquest Capital Group

The Financial Policy council is comprised of dedicated individuals who bring extraordinary speakers and thought-leaders to their events, and who explore and address the most-timely issues. With a focus on wealth-creation and fiscal matters, it serves as a beacon of encouragement to entrepreneurs and those who seek to support free enterprise.

Margaret Orem

I’ve had the opportunity to attend a few Financial Policy Council events as well as have navigated the Financial Policy Council website. The website itself is incredibly insightful with useful ground breaking information keeping me up-to-date on local and global events. The FPC puts on outstanding events, down to the last detail, providing cutting edge real world analysis. I highly recommend attending one or more of these events in the future if you want to be a part of the pulse of America – globally and nationally.

Kirill Storch

I met Mr. Abdelnour for the very first time on Nov 2nd for the FPC event, my experience was absolutely amazing I was able to network well plus and enjoy the wealth information given by the panelists on Blockchain digital currency. I will keep coming again. Brilliant people.

Asha Jackson

This was my first experience attending the Financial Policy Council event and certainly not my last. The panel was very informative and eager to share insight on the topic of investing in education. The Council’s Chairman Ziad Abdelnour did an excellent job as moderator. I felt like I was sitting in my living room having a conversation with such amazing talent. I look forward to the October 30th event.

Lisa Tepper

In an alternate universe where you have infinite time, staff, and resources, you’d love to physically shake hands with the top executives and champion at every customer, the typical corporation often reserves such high-touch events (their nomenclature for meetings) with only their top higher-touch clientele.

Over the years I personally witnessed this kind of alternate universe from Ziad Abdelnour of Blackhawk Partners in outstanding business responsiveness and in particular at the Financial Policy Council meetings where face to face is the standard and not the exception. You'll experience a ready greeting with genuine interest welcoming you to the Blackhawk Partners family and will be well informed and kept in the loop of future events. An impressive feat given the magnitude of contacts and connections. I've enjoyed meeting a diverse group of professionals at the Financial Policy council meetings. Ziad truly is the champion for all levels of business, I highly recommend attendance to the Council.

Joule Guttierez

President

Hedge Fun, LLC.

As a strong supporter of the Financial Policy Council and the noble values it stands for, I cannot but strongly endorse the organization’s board and all what its distinguished members are trying to achieve in today’s arcane world of regulatory finance. We need more people like those courageous “gladiators” both on Wall Street and in the corridors of power in our nation’s capital.

John Esposito

Tristone Capital Management Inc

The Financial Policy Council is a genuine gift to the business and political worlds, both domestically and globally. Mr. Abdelnour is a strong, clear and well spoken leader; with a precise skill at successful execution in each endeavor he chooses. Anyone who knows him is blessed on numerous levels to experience who and how he is. Always the best of best wishes to you Ziad and continued success for the Financial Policy Council.

Nicole N. Abdallah

President and CEO, JND Healthcare Management, Inc.

Ziad Abdelnour is a rare combination of visionary and fearless leader who inspires us all. When we think of true Renaissance Men, we think of urbane, educated thought leaders with varied and diverse interests and knowledge....such is Ziad, who is never afraid to express well-considered opinions, to structure complicated capitalization projects, or to capture competitive deals. This is a man who loves America and has loyalty to his homeland, Lebanon. We agree on many issues, disagree on others, but I will always value Ziad's wise counsel and sage advice. We have too few true leaders. We all would be less if Ziad was not in our lives. Ziad Abdelnour is truly a GIFT and the Financial Policy Council is a powerhouse in the making.

Stephen Day

CEO, Day Capital Partners, Inc

Without a doubt, a rare & consummate gentleman. Ziad Abdelnour stands out among the great modern day financiers. He possesses an extreme grasp on the intersection of financial policy, government politics & the global economy. His desire to share his knowledge and be a substantial global influencer is impressive. His energy and passion is inspiring. I would welcome the opportunity to network, partner or mentor with Ziad Abdelnour and the Financial Policy Council anytime.

Leslie Wright

Vice President, Real Estate Development at The Privada Group

Ziad Abdelnour is one of those unfortunately, rare individuals who fits the profile put forward by Mr. J.P. Getty in his book 'How to Be Rich', - "It has always been my contention that an individual who can be relied upon to be himself and to be honest unto himself can be relied upon in every other way. He places value - not a price - on himself and his principles. And that, in the final analysis, is the measure of anyone's sense of values - and the true worth of any man." Ziad is an inspiration and a true visionary who appears to thrive on the responsibility that greatness brings. In a world short on true leaders he is a beacon. I hope our roads will cross again in the future allowing me the opportunity to gain from his knowledge and expertise and tag along this great organization in the making.

S Hojgaard-Sorensen

Senior Associate, Librarium Associates Ltd - Zurich, Switzerland

Outstanding organization with insight second to none. I have to thank its Chairman Ziad Abdelnour, an absolutely amazing maverick who uses his powerful and assertive arguments to transmit his wide knowledge in American and world financial and political subjects to his audience at the Financial Policy Council. Outstanding speakers as well with totally "out of the box" perspectives about the economy, politics and risks that may affect everybody's lives.

Renato Tichauer

CEO, Tremond Metals Corp.

The Financial Policy Council is one of the most influential nonprofit organizations I’ve ever seen. I am constantly surprised by the great speeches given each quarter on this platform. The well-known guest speakers include economists, entrepreneurs, and important former government officials. They focus on the important political and financial concerns both American and global societies face today. They address these issues pragmatically and present realistic solutions. They avoid the tendency of many self-important speakers to offer theoretical ideas that might lack persuasiveness. Ziad K. Abdelnour, Founder and Chairman of the Financial Policy Council, has a charismatic personality. He possesses the vision and the backbone to strengthen the organization and brings to it a depth of experience in private equity, investment banking, and political activism. He has a unique ability to present innovative ideas that lead to successful actions. The Financial Policy Council is an increasingly influential group that contributes substantially to the national dialogue on the critical issues that face the country and the world.

Charlotte Lei

Family Office Administrator of PCM Management LLC II

I have been attending FPC meetings for more than four years. I find the members and guest speakers to be the finest in their respective fields. If someone is looking for a typical market/political commentary or speech, you will not find it at FPC. Instead, you’ll experience the political incorrectness of the truth about the challenges facing the global economy and the US economy. I find every meeting to be thought provoking, yet grounded in irrefutable fact. The forum is open to differing opinions and encourages attendees to think outside the conventional CNBC talk. I look forward to my continued attendance. On a lighter note, FPC's Chairman Ziad Abdelnour keeps the pace fast, interesting and no one gets a free pass without backing his/her opinion with tangible facts.

Anthony Sages

Sr. Executive Vice President, National Division

AXA Advisors, LLC

What impresses me most about the Financial Policy Council and its members is the level of interest in new and innovative financial policy and the technologies, enabling change. While their meetings are attended by the old guard of Wall Street, these are not your typical investment bankers and Wall Street insiders. These are people that are looking forward seeing the opportunities of tomorrow, making sure their organizations stay ahead of the curve from both a policy and technology prospective.

Joy Schoffler

Crowdfund Intermediary Regulatory Advocates Board Member (CfIRA)

Principal of Financial Technology PR Firm, Leverage PR

The Financial Policy Council is a truly unique organization which I've grown to respect over the years. Not only do they perform timely and accurate research on key policy issues and effectively market these findings to the nation's powerbrokers and news media, but they are truly independent in their approach- they are not funded by any interest group. Most importantly, being comprised of people with real world experience in the trenches of business and entrepreneurship, with deep knowledge of the financial services sector, makes a huge difference between being intellectual and academic, versus being IMPACTFUL. FPC is impactful. I applaud my good friend Ziad Abdelnour for leading the efforts in creating a first class organization of smart, knowledgeable and high-profile financial leaders. I can't wait to see what the future holds for FPC. I hope to be a small part of it.

Wayne Allyn Root

International Business Speaker & Author of "The Power of RELENTLESS"

New York is the center of the world for things to do and people to see, and when it comes to meeting financial wizards and fellow investors, there's nothing like the monthly meetings of the Financial Policy Council. There you learn, debate, and network with the best and the brightest, led by the inimitable Ziad Abdelnour.

Mark Skousen

(Authored over 20 other books on economics)

The Financial Policy Council under the auspices of Ziad K. Abdelnour has true decision making clout to help develop a stronger regulatory framework for both private and public sector policy formation with an international dimension. This caliber of financial engineering is sorely needed in this time of market and of governance volatility. I have been closely privy to great insight from the Financial Policy Council, and boldly endorse the thought leadership, education and expertise that this institution provides.

Astrid F. Kowlessar

Director - Business & Project Strategy, Vezta Triumph Ltd.

The Financial Policy Council that Ziad Abdelnour has assembled is a much-needed think tank of free enterprise capitalism and a forum for solving many of the economic, cultural and political problems we face. Ziad’s leadership is both visionary and inspirational, and the council meetings feature a wide-range of the world’s leading experts sharing their insights to an active, involved, and hyper-productive audience. It adds tremendous value to my efforts to stay informed, productive, and focused on the future.

Martin Pazzani

Entrepreneur, Founder/CEO Act!vate Brain & Body Inc.

The Financial Policy Council is a necessary and powerful group of entrepreneurs who serve an extremely important role in helping small to mid-sized companies create wealth and opportunity for themselves and their families as well as influencing the next generation of business builders. It has been a distinct privilege of mine to partner with Ziad Abdelnour and the FPC. His leadership has been uniquely inspiring to me and I admire the way he has always presented topical and tough issues to deliberate and ultimately find solutions to in the FPC events.

Kevin Dunn

CEO, CEO Clubs

I am honoured to be connected with Ziad Abdelnour and his think tank the Financial Policy Council. I have learned so much from his vast knowledge, experience and global expertise. The work he is sharing at FPC is absolutely brilliant. As a matter of fact, I always check their work every day and before speaking at any networking event in Asia Pacific. I am making my new corporate profile video and credentials update according to Ziad's structure. What an enlightenment. I absolutely admire and respect the gentleman for his integrity and impeccable character.

Shan Saeed

Chief Economist / Investment Strategist - IQI Group Sbn Bhd Malaysia

The Financial Policy Council is an excellent forum to hear about most relevant topics on the economy, business, and policies. It attracts great people and they come here to exchange ideas freely. Ziad Abdelnour is an outstanding networker and amazingly adept at lining up industry experts who have deep knowledge and speak their minds. He is a model of such a speaker himself.

Lulu Wang

Senior Manager - American Express

Great organization with lots of insight. I continue to attend the Financial Policy Council events because my friend Ziad Abdelnour always finds outstanding speakers of interest who push the envelope in addition to the fact that his attendees are truly knowledgeable people worth engaging in conversational debates.
