MWS Capital provides comprehensive investment counsel along with access to a wide range of investments and services that help us serve the needs of our clients. Client accounts enjoy the security of independent custodian and account services through the leading provider of trading, custody, and brokerage services to registered investment advisors, trust institutions, and third-party administrators. MWS Capital does not offer its services to residents of states outside of Illinois.



Matthew Shapiro is the founder of MWS Capital Consultants LLC, and advocates for investors and the growth of their wealth.  He has shepherded funds with his vision and timeless approach since founding MWS Capital in 2003.  Matt is guided by a long term philosophy that focuses on our economy and high quality investments.

Matt has set himself apart from sales driven advisory strategies, and articulates one of the few responses distinctly opposed to the short term mindset that preoccupies brokerage firms and other advisors.  Above all, MWS Capital is dedicated to generational investing on behalf of its clients.

Matt's inspiration and eye for quality drives his positive style in long term holdings of select stocks, bonds and funds. MWS Capital's core clients include prominent Chicagoans, professional couples, retirees and successful business owners. Matt is also strong with successful and independent clients who favor MWS Capital's personal approach. Most of all, Matt especially enjoys building long term accounts for everyday hard working people.

MWS Capital's story started with Matt's financial career as an Economics student at Rutgers College in the early nineties. During this time he opened his first brokerage account at AG Edwards and eventually, Matt started a career as a stock options trader on the American Stock Exchange, then moved to Chicago to trade on the Chicago Board Options Exchange. Ultimately Matt devoted all of his time to his clients and their investments at MWS Capital.


Mr. Shapiro's market views are featured as a continuing guest on the nationally syndicated television show First Business, as well as both CBS and WGN talk radio in Chicago.
