Karl A. Wagner III

Partner, Senior Wealth Advisor

A Partner and Senior Wealth Advisor at Biondo Investment Advisors, Karl grew up in a small town of a thousand people nestled in the Poconos. It was there that he learned the values of a strong sense of community, close-knit relationships, and the importance of perseverance and resourcefulness from an early age. These principles stayed with him as he embarked on a successful career in financial services in 1994. Over the years, he held roles at various companies across the country, including Putnam Investments, Equitable, and as a Vice President with Prudential Financial.

In 2013, when the opportunity arose to move his family back home, work alongside lifelong friends, and apply both his values and experience to serving clients, the decision was the easiest of his personal and professional career.

Karl oversees our Wealth Advisor team, manages high-net-worth clients, and assists in providing solutions for often complex estate and tax considerations within their portfolios. His expertise also extends to managing several of our institutional portfolio clients.

A graduate of Villanova University, he earned a B.A. in English with a concentration in Economics. Karl has provided financial commentary in several publications, including Barron’s, Investment News, Financial Planning, and Financial Advisor Magazine.

For many years he has been dedicated to youth mentorship through his involvement with GESU, a non-denominational inner-city school in North Philadelphia, where he finds great fulfillment in guiding and inspiring young minds. Karl also serves on the Board of Directors of Newton Medical Foundation and Milford Community House and is actively engaged in many local organizations in Sparta and Sussex County.

Married with three children, Karl enjoys spending quality time with his family and actively participating in their various activities. He values a strong work-life balance, making time for both professional commitments and meaningful moments at home.
