With over 30 years of experience in investment management, Dietrich has built a strong reputation as a financial commentator and expert. He frequently appears in major business and financial media outlets, including CNBC, Fox Business, Bloomberg TV, and The Wall Street Journal, offering insights on market trends and economic developments.

Before joining B. Riley, Dietrich was CEO and Chief Investment Officer of Fairfax Global Markets, LLC. Prior to that, he led Foxhall Capital Management in the same capacity. Earlier in his career, he practiced international corporate law at Squire, Sanders & Dempsey (now Squire Patton Boggs) and Jones Day, advising the World Bank and governments in Asia and Eastern Europe. Dietrich also served as a State Representative in the Missouri General Assembly and was a member of the Advisory Board of the John Templeton Foundation.

“Over the years, I’ve worked alongside Craig Pirtle and others at Wedbush who share the same vision. Fairfax Global’s approach to investment management aligns with Wedbush’s commitment to service, and I’m excited to continue providing advisors and clients with personalized strategies for navigating today’s markets,” said Dietrich.

“Paul’s deep industry knowledge and long-standing relationships are exactly what sets Wedbush apart. His approach to portfolio management and commitment to delivering real value aligns perfectly with our mission. We look forward to the continued growth of our advisory services with Paul and the Fairfax Global team on board,” said EVP, Head of Wealth Management Chris Mone.

“I’ve had the pleasure of working closely with Paul for over 15 years. This move is a natural continuation of a long-standing partnership, and I’m excited to see the positive impact it will have on our clients and advisors. It’s a testament to the consistency and trust we’ve built over the years, and I’m looking forward to the next chapter with Paul and his team,” said SVP, Head of Business Development & Market Expansions Craig Pirtle.
