Thomas Van Spankeren, CFP®, CFA®

I am the founder and wealth advisor of Voyage Point Wealth Management, where I help clients navigate their most important financial goals with clarity and confidence. For over a decade, I have partnered with individuals and families to design disciplined, personalized strategies that serve as a roadmap toward financial independence and long-term security.

I believe every financial plan is a voyage. Markets often feel calm, and risks appear distant, but true preparation is revealed during periods of uncertainty and volatility. It is in those moments that planning, discipline, and thoughtful execution matter most. As a trusted advisor and steward of capital, my role is to help clients stay focused on their long-term destination, regardless of the seas along the way.

I earned a Bachelor of Science in Finance from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 2015. Prior to founding Voyage Point, I spent seven years as a Portfolio Manager at Bank of America Private Bank, where I managed approximately $400 million in advisory assets. I also served as Chief Investment Officer at RISE Investments for two years. I hold both the Chartered Financial Analyst® and Certified Financial Planner® designations.

I live in Arlington Heights with my wife Margaret and our [son/daughter]. Outside of financial markets, I enjoy the outdoors as an avid fisherman and have an interest in American history. I am a member of the Arlington Heights Chamber of Commerce, a parishioner at Wayside Catholic Church, and a regular volunteer with Shared Table through Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago, where I help provide meals to those in need.
