Astrop Advisory Corporation

Astrop Advisory Corporation provides discretionary investment management and separately managed accounts to individuals, families, foundations and other institutions, delivering tailored portfolio management on an ongoing basis. The firm reports managing about $28 million across roughly 82 client accounts and typically charges advisory fees based on a percentage of assets under management.

The firm’s stated objective is preservation of capital and long‑term growth with the goal of maintaining purchasing power, and it builds diversified portfolios using primarily stocks, mutual funds, ETFs and bonds. Investment decisions rely principally on fundamental analysis supplemented by technical/charting and cyclical analysis; Astrop exercises discretionary trading authority, performs regular rebalancing, and generally uses Schwab Advisor Services for custody and trade execution while maintaining a stated $200,000 household minimum (with some legacy accounts below that level).

Noteworthy aspects compared with many peers include concentrated family ownership (majority shareholders control the large share of the firm) and a recent material change disaffiliating the firm from a separate hedge‑fund manager it had been associated with. At its modest AUM and two‑adviser scale, Astrop operates as a small, closely held advisory practice that does not charge performance‑based fees, does not sponsor wrap programs, and discloses receipt of institutional support services from its custodian that can create operational benefits to the firm.
