Anthony Adenikinju

For more than twenty years, Anthony Adenikinju has provided sophisticated, high-quality, and cost-efficient financial guidance to his clients. He is driven by the joy he gets from having life-changing conversations with his clients that result in optimal financial outcomes. While he didn’t start his career in financial services, Anthony became interested in the field when he joined an MBA program and gained exposure to his fellow MBF students. While he wasn’t allowed to change his program, he focused on finance and economics and became an advisor in 1999. Through his MBA research and the ministry he founded, Anthony understands the value of a secure financial future afforded to those with a financial plan.

Originally from Nigeria, Anthony now lives in Maryland with his wife. As a child, he grew up under his mother’s wing after losing his father at an early age. From his mother, Anthony learned the value of self-dependence and independence. He began his career as a pharmacist after earning a Bachelor of Pharmacy in 1979 and went on to earn a Master's in Business Administration and certification in financial planning. He is a former holder of FINRA Series 26 as Registered Principal, 6 and 63, and currently holds Series 65, life and health insurance licensure. Since 1999, Anthony has worked for and started financial services companies where his focus has continually been on providing suitable, optimal, high quality, and cost-efficient financial guidance to those he serves.

Driven by a shared passion for being of service to others, Anthony and his wife, Omolara, a pharmacist, created the Second Chances Ministry USA, Inc. to assist the less privileged with food, clothing, and housing. Together they have three children. Their daughter, Omosalewa, is an Interventional Radiologist. Their second daughter, Abidemi is an orthopedic surgeon, and their son, Oluwapelumi, is a software engineer. Recently, they were blessed to welcome their first grandchild into the world.
