About

Monarch Capital Management provides discretionary portfolio management focused on direct investments in individual equities and fixed‑income securities for individuals, trusts, foundations, charitable organizations, corporations and pension plans, and also offers personal financial advisory services such as net worth statements, wealth transfer analysis, budgeting and financial action plans. The firm manages approximately $496 million across roughly 173 client relationships and conducts most accounts on a discretionary basis.

The firm’s investment approach emphasizes long‑term ownership of individual stocks and bonds, a focus on credit quality, diversification, avoidance of leverage, and a laddered bond maturity strategy to manage interest‑rate risk; index funds and ETFs are used selectively where appropriate. Portfolio oversight is ongoing, with monthly measurements, quarterly performance reviews, and at least annual formal reviews to align holdings with client objectives and tolerance for volatility.

Distinctive aspects include a small, family‑owned team managing a relatively large asset base per client and the firm’s use of research obtained through a soft‑dollar arrangement with an external research provider funded via trade commissions. Monarch also discloses internal referral and equity‑based compensation arrangements for employees and maintains practices related to standing letters of authorization and limited custody, matters clients may wish to review for potential conflicts or governance implications.
