About

Harbor Investment Advisory, LLC provides both investment advisory and brokerage services to individuals (including high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients), families, family offices, retirement plans, charitable organizations, and business entities. Offerings include ongoing portfolio management, financial planning, retirement-plan consulting, multiple wrap-fee programs, and brokerage account services.

The firm’s investment process blends quantitative and qualitative analysis, manager due diligence, and use of third-party technology and model services provided by Envestnet to implement and monitor portfolios across discretionary and non-discretionary programs (including a dual-contract Manager Select option and consulting arrangements). Harbor routes the majority of trades through Pershing as its clearing custodian, uses aggregated block orders when appropriate, and notes that certain trade routing practices such as step-out trades occur (approximately 2% of order flow on an annualized basis).

Harbor’s status as both an SEC-registered investment adviser and a FINRA-member broker-dealer — including selling brokerage accounts and insurance products through licensed representatives — is a distinguishing feature that is uncommon among multi-team peers and creates potential conflicts tied to transaction-based compensation and commissions. The firm discloses those conflicts, describes its Pershing and Envestnet platform relationships and associated platform fees, and states that mutual fund distribution and servicing payments received are credited to clients or applied to reduce advisory fees.
