About

The firm provides investment advisory services to individuals (including high net worth clients), pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, corporations, and charitable organizations. Services include discretionary portfolio management, financial planning, consulting, pension/401(k) plan consulting, and public educational seminars.

The firm develops written investment policy statements and tailors portfolios to client objectives, employing asset allocation alongside fundamental and technical analysis and conducting regular portfolio reviews. It may allocate assets to unaffiliated independent managers, uses tools such as eMoney for account aggregation, and treats cash as an asset class as part of its risk-management process.

Unlike many team firms, the firm regularly offers public seminars and provides quarterly educational workshops for plan participants as part of its pension consulting services. The brochure also discloses that management holds a minority ownership and board role in a trust company to which clients may be referred, and that the firm serves as an advisory consultant on certain third‑party platform accounts (compensated at 17 basis points), each relationship noted as a potential conflict of interest.
