Mueller Asset Management

Mueller Asset Management provides ongoing discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management and investment advisory services to individuals and high‑net‑worth clients, preparing written Investment Policy Statements and conducting regular portfolio monitoring. The firm reports about $45 million in discretionary assets under management across roughly 80 client accounts, a client base that indicates concentration in larger account relationships rather than a broad non‑HNW retail segment.

The firm employs a mix of fundamental, quantitative, technical and modern‑portfolio‑theory analysis to construct diversified portfolios and generally limits advice to mutual funds, equities, fixed income, ETFs, real estate funds/REITs, precious‑metal ETFs, commodities, non‑U.S. securities and private placements. Mueller seeks discretionary trading authority to implement client IPSs and uses long‑term trading and options strategies (including covered and uncovered options and spreads), which it discloses as carrying elevated risk.

A distinctive feature disclosed in the brochure is that the firm’s principal is a licensed insurance agent who accepts compensation for sales of insurance products; the firm documents and discloses this conflict and says clients may purchase recommended products through other brokers. The brochure also notes that clients are required to use specific custodians (Fidelity and Charles Schwab, with Charles Schwab recently added), that the firm does not participate in wrap fee programs or select third‑party managers, and that it follows SEC safeguards for limited custody via standing letters of authorization.
