Aspen & Pine Asset Management

Aspen & Pine Asset Management LLC is an owner-operated investment manager founded in 2026 that offers discretionary portfolio management primarily to individuals and high‑net‑worth clients, with limited retirement-plan advisory and a fixed‑fee financial guidance option for smaller households. The firm charges percentage‑of‑AUM advisory fees and does not require a firm minimum, and it provides tiered service levels including ongoing investment management and standalone planning services billed as an annual retainer.

The firm follows a systematic, rules‑based quantitative approach that evaluates price and volume signals across a broad universe of liquid securities, with factors for momentum and mean reversion and portfolio‑level risk controls and position‑sizing limits. Portfolios are tactical and may include publicly traded equities, fixed income, ETPs, currencies, indices and digital assets, and—when authorized by the client—may employ short positions, derivatives and margin, with the firm noting higher turnover and the possibility of frequent trading.

Noteworthy operational features include use of Interactive Brokers as the primary custodian and advice on digital assets via platforms such as Coinbase (the firm does not act as digital‑asset custodian), and advisory fees are calculated on client equity (net of any margin) rather than gross account value, which the firm highlights as a conflict‑mitigating practice when margin is used. The firm is led by a sole managing member who trades personally in similar strategies and maintains a Code of Ethics and trade‑allocation policies to address potential conflicts; Aspen & Pine also does not charge performance‑based fees or accept soft‑dollar arrangements.
