Daniel Investment Associates, LLC

Daniel Investment Associates, LLC provides investment management services to high‑net‑worth individuals and to foundations and charitable organizations, focusing on portfolio design, asset allocation, investment plan implementation and ongoing monitoring. As disclosed in its brochure, the firm managed $220,524,940 primarily in nondiscretionary client assets as of December 31, 2025 and generally requires a $10,000,000 minimum to open a new advisory account (waivable at the firm’s discretion).

The Adviser operates largely on a non‑discretionary basis, notifying clients and obtaining approval prior to each sale or purchase, and emphasizes strategic asset allocation paired with a mix of index and actively managed mutual funds and ETFs. Its investment process includes manager and fund selection metrics (rankings, returns, expense ratios, turnover, tenure) and can employ long/short techniques to adjust market exposure.

Notably, the firm’s combination of high assets under management relative to its single‑advisor structure and a predominantly nondiscretionary model is uncommon among peers, resulting in a small client base with relatively large account sizes. The brochure also discloses an SEC administrative finding and settlement related to a failure to disclose material information to one client regarding promissory notes issued by Essex Capital Corporation; the firm does not take custody of client assets, does not participate in wrap programs, and does not receive soft dollars.
