Carswell Investments, LLC

Carswell provides wealth management, institutional advisory, and qualified plan services to individuals, high- and ultra-high-net-worth families and related entities such as trusts and private foundations, as well as a limited number of pension, profit-sharing and not-for-profit clients. Services are offered on both discretionary and non‑discretionary bases and include portfolio management, financial planning, family wealth planning, and assistance with estate, tax and philanthropic matters.

The firm’s investment philosophy centers on asset-class allocation as the primary driver of returns and employs a three-step process of asset-class optimization, investment implementation, and portfolio monitoring. Implementation is deliberately hybrid: passive index funds are used for highly efficient markets while actively managed mutual funds are selected for less efficient asset classes via a formal manager-screening process, and portfolios are reviewed semiannually with systematic rebalancing (a +/-5% trigger) and attention to taxes and transaction costs.

Distinctive features in the brochure include a reported approximately $358 million in assets under management (about $322 million discretionary) while operating with a compact advisory team that includes CFP and CFA credentialed professionals, combining planning and investment expertise. The firm also emphasizes that it does not distribute products or accept third‑party referral or commission-based compensation, does not charge performance-based fees, relies on relationships with major custodians, and leaves proxy voting to clients, which differentiates it from many peers.
