John J. Loughlin, Investment Advisor

The firm provides portfolio management and investment advice to a mix of institutional and private clients, including individuals, trusts, estates, endowments, charitable organizations, corporations, and other business entities, and oversees approximately $6.8 million in client-directed account assets. Its advice covers a broad investment universe, including exchange-listed securities, exchange-traded funds, mutual funds, corporate and municipal debt, options, and interests in real estate and oil and gas partnerships.

The firm operates on a non-discretionary basis, making asset-allocation and security recommendations based on fundamental, technical, and cyclical analysis and accommodating both long- and short-term time horizons. Clients maintain custody and direct brokerage decisions; the firm does not receive commissions for product sales, conducts quarterly account reviews, and does not aggregate orders across client accounts.

Compared with many investment managers, the firm’s primarily non-discretionary model and availability of hourly engagements are less common among peers and reflect a client-directed execution approach. The practice is a single-advisor sole proprietorship with a long operating history and an investment professional who has academic credentials and teaching experience in finance, and it actively uses option strategies and partnership interests alongside traditional equity and fixed-income vehicles.
