Determined Advisors LLC

Determined Advisors provides financial planning and ongoing portfolio management to individual and high‑net‑worth clients, delivering broad financial planning across retirement, estate, tax‑aware planning, education funding, divorce planning, and employee‑benefit analysis. The firm also offers investment consultation and retirement‑plan rollover advice and can work on either broad‑based or modular engagements depending on client needs.

The firm constructs customized portfolios using a Core + Satellite framework that pairs a lower‑cost passive core with smaller active exposures and relies on fundamental analysis and a focus on tax efficiency (including consideration of qualified dividend treatment). Accounts may be managed on a discretionary or non‑discretionary basis, with periodic and event‑driven reviews and written plan or performance reports provided to clients.

The practice is small in scale by assets and client count and is led by an adviser with prior institutional asset‑management and credit‑research experience and graduate business training, a background the brochure highlights as central to its oversight. The brochure also notes the firm’s preference for a particular custodian for trade execution, participation in the SmartAsset lead‑generation marketplace, and an explicit policy of not voting client proxies—features that distinguish it from many solo independent advisers.
