Aquifer Asset Management, LLC

Aquifer Asset Management, LLC provides discretionary portfolio management services to individuals and high‑net‑worth individuals, using mutual funds, ETFs, equities, bonds and other securities available at a client’s custodian; the firm also offers consulting on private placement holdings and review of private placement offerings upon request. The firm reports no assets under management (discretionary and non‑discretionary $0) as of December 31, 2025 and operates with a single adviser who conducts account reviews and supervises client accounts.

The firm’s investment process combines fundamental, technical, charting and cyclical analysis and employs both long‑term and short‑term trading strategies, generally implementing diversified active and indexed mutual funds and ETFs. Accounts are managed under written discretionary authority, with the firm relying on client‑directed custodians, requiring clients to direct brokerage, and not aggregating (block) trades or accepting proxy‑voting authority.

Noteworthy distinctions include that the firm’s sole adviser also holds broker‑dealer registrations and insurance licenses and is involved with private placement syndication, relationships the brochure identifies as potential conflicts of interest that the firm says it mitigates through disclosure and a written code of ethics. Other atypical features for a small investment manager are the firm’s lack of AUM to date, its policy that clients direct brokerage (limiting the adviser’s ability to aggregate trades), and its explicit statements that it does not participate in wrap fee programs or receive soft‑dollar research.
