Bartlett, Lawrence E

The firm, founded in 1987, provides discretionary securities portfolio management and investment supervisory services to a small set of clients, including select individuals, corporations and a non‑profit foundation. Advisory fees are calculated as a percentage of assets under management and billed semiannually, with custody and trade execution arranged through third‑party broker‑dealers.

The adviser combines fundamental analysis with a pronounced emphasis on technical conditions and momentum, generally maintaining long‑only U.S. common stock portfolios with a growth orientation and occasional ADRs. Portfolio management may include covered call writing, listed options and the use of margin, and the strategy uses high‑dividend common stocks as a substitute for bonds when appropriate.

The proprietor is a California‑licensed certified public accountant who continues to practice as a CPA, a background that informs the firm’s recordkeeping and client information practices and is uncommon among peers. Managing a non‑profit foundation alongside a small, sole‑practitioner structure and an active, technically driven equity approach distinguishes the firm from many larger institutional‑focused investment managers.
