Dale K. Ehrhart, Inc.

Dale K. Ehrhart, Inc. serves individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, corporations, charitable organizations and other registered investment advisers through three divisions: a Family Office (with a stated $50 million minimum), a Private Client division, and a TAMP that provides back‑office and investment management services to independent RIAs. The firm’s services include discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management, preparation of Investment Policy Statements, and the provision of model strategy portfolios and platform support.

The firm builds client‑specific Investment Policy Statements and manages most accounts on a discretionary basis, using fundamental analysis and a diversified mutual fund/ETF approach grounded in Modern Portfolio Theory and the Efficient Market Hypothesis. DKE also employs a wider set of trading techniques — including long‑ and short‑term trading, margin (borrowing) transactions, and options writing (covered, uncovered and spread strategies) — and performs regular portfolio monitoring and reviews.

Distinctive features called out in the brochure include the combination of an institutional‑scale Family Office with a TAMP that splits management fees with advising firms and supplies model portfolios to other advisers, and the explicit disclosure that the firm uses margin and options in managed accounts, practices that are less common among similar team firms. The firm’s written Code of Ethics also lists Training and Education as a formal element of its compliance program, indicating an internal emphasis on educational processes alongside its adviser‑facing services.
