Barrett & Company

Barrett & Company provides investment management services to individuals, trusts, pension and profit-sharing plans, and occasional small business or nonprofit clients, offering both discretionary and non-discretionary advisory arrangements. The firm reports approximately $529.7 million in assets under management across several hundred client accounts as of year-end 2025.

The firm builds customized portfolios that account for clients’ income needs, liquidity, tax considerations, time horizons and risk tolerance, deploying a mix of exchange-listed and OTC securities, mutual funds, index funds, ETFs and bonds. Barrett uses a blend of fundamental, technical, quantitative and charting analysis and supports reporting and back-office functions through platforms including NFS’s Managed Account Solutions and Fidelity/Envestnet FMAX/FIWA.

Distinctive features for a small advisory team include Barrett’s dual registration as a FINRA-member broker-dealer and investment adviser and its role as an introducing broker with clearing and custody arrangements through National Financial Services/Fidelity, a relationship the brochure notes can create conflicts such as receipt of research tools and soft-dollar benefits. The firm also emphasizes its long family ownership dating to 1928, recent disclosed material changes (including an AUM update and platform migration), and specific practices such as crediting certain 12b-1 fees back to clients and not charging performance-based fees.
