O'Rourke & Company, Incorporated

O'Rourke & Company provides portfolio management, financial planning, and retirement-plan advisory services to individuals (including high-net-worth clients), as well as pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, charities, corporations, and small businesses. The firm implements portfolios using mutual funds, ETFs, listed securities and annuities and offers ERISA-focused services such as investment menu management and IPS support for plan sponsors.

The investment process emphasizes a top-down asset allocation and diversification approach across six asset classes (domestic and international equities, fixed income, REITs, alternatives, and cash), with security selection informed by fundamental analysis and third‑party research (e.g., Morningstar, Lipper). Most client assets are managed on a discretionary basis with periodic rebalancing and quarterly reviews, and accounts are typically custodied through Cetera (Pershing) or Fidelity (NFS).

O'Rourke oversees roughly $555 million in client assets and serves about 580 client relationships, which results in an unusually high AUM and client load per advisor compared with many team firms—an operational profile that can imply more standardized servicing and delegation. The brochure also discloses that some personnel are dually registered with Cetera and licensed as insurance agents (receiving commissions and trailer fees) and that the firm does not aggregate or “bunch” orders across clients, practices that bear on trade execution and potential conflicts of interest and are subject to the firm’s monitoring and disclosure.
