Beadell A D Investment Counsel Inc

A.D. Beadell Investment Counsel, Inc. provides discretionary investment management and advisory services to individuals (including high‑net‑worth and non‑HNW clients) as well as pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, nonprofit organizations, corporations and other entities. The firm manages about $250 million on a discretionary basis for roughly 90 client relationships and is run by a two‑person investment team.

The firm’s stated objective emphasizes conservation of principal and combines fundamental analysis of earnings and business prospects with technical analysis to help time decisions and select securities. Portfolios are tailored to client goals and may include domestic and foreign equities, short‑to‑intermediate fixed income (typically one to six years), ETFs and mutual funds for diversification, and, when appropriate, option strategies or limited use of margin and short sales.

Distinctive aspects include a long operating history (since 1975) and a compact advisory team managing a relatively large asset base for its size, concentrating research and decision‑making within the team. The firm charges asset‑based fees deducted quarterly in advance, does not use performance‑based fees, and discloses potential custodial and mutual fund share‑class conflicts (for example, revenue‑sharing/12b‑1 considerations) when recommending brokerage platforms.
