Matter Team
Ted Niemann
Ted’s longstanding interest in generational wealth drew him to join Matter’s St. Louis office in 2026. During his undergraduate studies, he focused on trust funds, which then led him to law school with the goal of working where wealth management, tax planning, and estate planning intersect for multigenerational families.
Before joining Matter, Ted was an investment analyst at Northwestern Mutual, where he translated portfolio performance into terms clients could readily understand and see how their money was working for them. His research into working with trusts, trust officers, portfolio managers, and attorneys gives him a complete view of the collaboration that is necessary to meet a client’s needs properly.
He holds a BS in Business Administration and Finance from the University of Missouri-St. Louis, with minors in portfolio management and investment analytics. He is also a Juris Doctor candidate at Saint Louis University School of Law, with completion expected in December 2028.
In his free time, Ted stays busy with his dog and two cats, and travels as often as he can. He visited five countries in 2025, and Central and South America and Europe remain his favorite destinations.
