Marki Financial Services, LLC

Marki Financial Services is a state‑registered independent advisory firm that provides ongoing portfolio management, financial planning, and consulting to individuals, high‑net‑worth individuals, pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and business entities. The firm reports managing approximately $66.7 million in discretionary assets for 29 clients, with high‑net‑worth individuals comprising 18 clients and the bulk of those assets (about $62.2 million).

The firm documents an Investment Policy Statement for each client and offers both discretionary and non‑discretionary services, with ongoing monitoring and portfolio rebalancing as market conditions or client circumstances change. Investment analysis relies on fundamental and cyclical methods and the firm may employ long‑ and short‑term positions, trading, options writing, ETFs, mutual funds, REITs, hedge funds and private placements, each with attendant risks that clients are asked to consider.

Noteworthy features include a relatively large assets‑under‑management concentration for the firm’s client base and that essentially all reported AUM is managed on a discretionary basis, with 114 discretionary accounts noted in the brochure—suggesting multiple accounts per client. The firm manages client assets directly rather than allocating to third‑party managers, requires use of its recommended custodian (rather than allowing client‑directed brokerage), does not participate in wrap fee programs, and does not accept third‑party sales compensation.
