Sammy Sung is a seasoned financial-services professional with more than 25 years of experience at firms such as Wells Fargo Advisors and UBS Financial Services. He began his career in corporate finance with assignments in Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan, and has since leveraged those market insights to serve a diverse client base.

In 2015, Sammy founded ALE LLC to partner with clients in achieving their long-term financial goals. By removing emotion from the investment process, he instills confidence and clarity at every stage of planning. He specializes in designing company retirement plans for business owners and crafting strategic, multigenerational wealth plans for individuals and families.

Fluent in Chinese and with more than a decade of on-the-ground experience in Asia, Sammy collaborates with attorneys and CPAs to implement tailored strategies for both U.S. and international clients seeking to diversify their portfolios. As ALE LLC’s Chief Compliance Officer, he ensures the highest standards of integrity and regulatory adherence.

Sammy holds real-estate licenses in California and New York through the real estate firms Hui Financial and Weichert Realtors. In his personal capacity—separate from ALE LLC—he analyzes and positions investment properties as a complement to traditional fixed-income allocations. Over the past 20 years, he’s managed family real-estate investments in the San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York City markets.

Born in Taiwan and a Bay Area resident for over 30 years, Sammy enjoys learning new technology, playing basketball, and traveling.
