About
Eliot Finkel Investment Counsel, LLC advises individuals (including high-net-worth clients), pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, and charitable organizations through separately managed accounts. The firm provides discretionary portfolio management of stocks and bonds and offers retirement-rollover advice, delivering written disclosures and quarterly performance reports.
The investment approach is value-oriented and focused on income and safety, using broad economic analysis and fundamental company research to favor dividend-paying and income-generating securities for long-term holdings. As an independent, fee-only fiduciary the firm manages accounts on a discretionary basis, reconciles brokerage statements regularly, and communicates with clients according to their preferences.
Noteworthy features include the firm’s disclosure that it permits borrowing in separately managed accounts — a practice uncommon among peers — and that it will, on rare occasions, facilitate intraclient bond swaps at midpoint pricing when liquidity is limited. The firm is small and longstanding, led by a sole adviser with CFA credentials, does not take custody of client assets, and maintains a $500,000 account minimum (subject to waiver).

We'll help you think it through – whether you ultimately need an advisor or not.
Warmer provides personalized recommendations and introductions to independent fiduciary advisors. We do not supervise advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
Each advisor listed on our site is an independent fiduciary responsible for their own advice. Warmer may receive fees from advisors for participation or referrals; these fees are paid by advisors and do not affect the fees clients pay for advisory services.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Please review an advisor's Form ADV and do your own diligence before entering into an advisory relationship.
