About

Family Investment Management serves individual and high‑net‑worth clients as well as trusts, estates, pension plans and business entities, offering financial planning, consulting, and both discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management. The firm reports managing $29,385,856 in client assets (all on a discretionary basis) and provides hourly financial planning and IRA rollover recommendations.

The firm combines proprietary computer algorithms that generate buy‑and‑sell signals and exit strategies with active management, using fundamental and technical analysis alongside Modern Portfolio Theory and both strategic and tactical asset‑allocation approaches. Portfolios commonly use mutual funds and ETFs, and the brochure states trading activity can range from about 10 to 80 trades (or more) in a year depending on model activity.

Noteworthy aspects include that the advisers are also registered representatives and insurance agents affiliated with LPL Financial, and the firm describes receipt of support services from LPL as well as fee billing and debits carried out by the custodian, which the brochure identifies as potential sources of conflicts of interest. The firm’s regulatory disclosures also note prior customer arbitration, tax liens and a past personal bankruptcy involving firm principals, which are documented in the ADV.
