Duval Investment Group

Duval Investment Group provides fee‑only financial planning and personalized investment management to high‑net‑worth individuals, associated trusts and estates, and corporate clients. The firm also offers specialized services for director and executive compensation arrangements and operates under a fiduciary standard to align portfolio management and planning with clients’ financial goals and tax situations.

Investment decisions are primarily driven by fundamental analysis, supplemented with market‑sentiment indicators and thematic positioning, using a combination of in‑house research and independent reports to establish strategic asset allocations documented in an Investment Policy Statement. The firm generally manages client assets on a discretionary basis, conducts ongoing rebalancing as conditions change, and may recommend alternative investments (including private placements or hedge funds) for qualified, accredited clients.

Distinctive features include managing approximately $109.5 million across a small roster of 27 clients, reflecting a high assets‑per‑client focus compared with many independent advisers that serve mostly non‑HNW individuals. The firm emphasizes integrated executive compensation work—covering option exercise planning, vesting schedules, and tax coordination—maintains an institutional custody arrangement that provides access to third‑party research, and does not take physical custody of client funds while retaining limited access to trading credentials (which triggers independent surprise audits).
