AIS Financial

Albatross Investment Services LLC (AIS) serves individual investors as well as business owners, corporations, partnerships and endowments, providing ongoing discretionary portfolio management and comprehensive financial planning that includes retirement planning, tax considerations, insurance and college planning. The firm documents each client’s goals and risk tolerance in an Investment Policy Statement and delivers regular portfolio monitoring and written reports through custodians.

AIS’s investment approach combines multiple analytic methods — charting, cyclical, fundamental, modern portfolio theory, quantitative and technical analysis — to align portfolios with documented risk profiles. The firm actively manages accounts and may use long- and short-term trading, options, margin transactions and a range of investment vehicles including mutual funds, ETFs, REITs, private placements and venture capital when appropriate.

Compared with many peers, AIS’s brochure indicates it works with institutional-type clients and retirement planning matters consistent with pension consulting engagements, a service less commonly offered by independent advisers of its size. The firm also discloses client education activities such as seminars or workshops and a willingness to deploy non‑traditional strategies and alternative investments, which together distinguish its service mix from many similarly sized firms.
