Your Team

Nadeem Salem has been a financial advisor since 1983. He concentrates his practice on wealth preservation planning, with an emphasis on wealth accumulation, retirement distribution planning, and investment management. He works primarily with business owners, retiring professionals, and other high-net-worth individuals. Nadeem’s focus since establishing Salem Financial Group is to create Sharia based investing for a growing and affluent Muslim clientele.

Nadeem established his practice in financial services directly upon graduation from The University of Toledo in 1982. He oriented his practice around business owners during the following eight years. In 1991 he decided to enter law school, based primarily on the emphasis he had in place on estate planning for his clients. He became licensed to practice law in the state of Ohio in May 1996, although he currently does not engage in the practice of law.

Nadeem’s special interest in making sure young people have a head start in their personal, professional, and financial lives, led him to establish “The Financial Foundation for the Future” program. Nadeem is confident that this program will prepare young people for the future by allowing them to work closely with a personal coach to deal with issues important to them as well as their parents.

Nadeem graduated from the University of Toledo in 1982 and from the University of Toledo School of Law in December 1995.

Nadeem has served as president of the Greater Toledo Association of Arab Americans (GTAAA); President of the Northwest Ohio American Arab Chamber of Commerce, legal advisor for the Islamic Center of Greater Toledo and has served as a member of the board of the Toledo Area Planned Giving Council. He is a member and past chairman of the St. Charles Hospital Foundation Board of Trustees. He is also the past chairman of the board of the Toledo Lucas County Port Authority. Nadeem is married to Nada and they have three children, Adam, Samantha, and Noah.
