Mindful Advisory, LLC

The firm provides fee-only investment advisory services to individuals, high-net-worth clients, retirement plans, and other entities, offering discretionary portfolio management, financial planning and non-discretionary retirement plan consulting. As of the most recent filing it manages roughly $6.5 million on behalf of about ten clients and may allocate portions of client assets to independent third‑party managers when appropriate.

The firm’s investment approach is valuation-driven, citing the use of cyclically adjusted (Shiller) P/E metrics and principles drawn from value-oriented analysts to guide allocations and security selection. It constructs two primary portfolio types — a short-duration sleeve focused mainly on fixed income and a long-duration, more flexible sleeve — and may occasionally use short-term trading, short sales or options when considered suitable for a client’s objectives.

Noteworthy features include the principal’s ongoing contributions to industry publications, which the brochure discloses as a separate source of compensation, and the firm’s explicit reliance on valuation frameworks (Graham/Grantham/Smithers/Shiller) rather than market timing. The firm also discloses a willingness to recommend alternative or partnership investments, to encourage rollovers to managed IRAs when appropriate, does not accept performance‑based fees, and does not exercise proxy voting on client securities.
