Baczkowski & Company

The firm provides portfolio management and financial advisory services to individual (retail) clients, offering both discretionary and non‑discretionary arrangements but managing all current accounts on a discretionary basis. It operates as a single‑adviser practice with a very small client roster and does not impose a minimum account balance, so services are tailored at the household level rather than for trusts or institutional plans.

Investment decisions are informed by publicly available research sources such as Morningstar and ValueLine and implemented through a mix of individual securities, mutual funds, and ETFs, with diversification scaled to the size of each account. Holding periods can be short to intermediate (days to months); the adviser monitors geopolitical and economic conditions daily and uses in‑house forecasts to time trades, while permitting client‑imposed restrictions on security selection.

Noteworthy features include the firm’s long tenure (established in 1998) as a sole practitioner managing a small number of discretionary accounts and performing monthly reviews and reconciliations directly by the adviser, with written reports provided only upon client request. The principal personally oversees all investment activity, at times holding the same securities as clients when objectives align, and gives client trades priority over personal trades in situations of simultaneous interest.
