About

Compak Asset Management provides discretionary investment management and financial planning to individuals, retirement plans, trusts, and other individual investors. The firm offers ongoing portfolio supervision, standalone financial plans, rollover and retirement advice, and access to separately managed account (SMA) programs, structured notes, and alternative investments.

Investment decisions are guided by an internal Investment Committee and implemented through a set of model strategies (Compak’s Growth and Dividend series and mutual fund/ETF portfolios), using fundamental and technical analysis together with third‑party research. The firm applies tactical asset‑allocation adjustments, may use options and direct indexing via SMA platforms, and accommodates client‑imposed investment restrictions and special‑situation mandates.

Compak is notable among multi‑team advisers for operating an affiliated broker‑dealer (Compak Securities, Inc.) and having representatives who are licensed insurance agents and may receive trailing commissions on insurance and annuity products; the brochure discloses the firm will not include commission‑generated products in its AUM fee billing and will not charge advisory fees on those products. The firm also offers a 12‑month satisfaction guarantee for new managed‑account clients and participates in Fidelity custody and referral programs (including Wealth Advisor Solutions), arrangements the brochure identifies as potential sources of conflicts of interest.
