Pawleys Investment Advisors, LLC

Pawleys Investment Advisors provides discretionary and limited non‑discretionary portfolio management and financial planning to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates and business entities. Beyond typical advisory accounts, the firm sponsors private pooled equity funds offered to accredited investors and provides consulting and plan‑review services to retirement plan and college‑savings clients.

The firm’s investment process is primarily long‑term and fundamental, supplemented by technical analysis, and it constructs portfolios using individual equities, ETFs and mutual funds while occasionally employing options for hedging or tactical exposure. Pawleys applies the same stock‑selection and portfolio construction methodology to its two private placement long‑only equity funds and licenses those model strategies to third‑party platforms (SMArtX and dub) for separately managed account replication.

Compared with many peers, Pawleys acts as a private fund adviser and general partner for pooled vehicles, maintains custody and administration arrangements for those funds with a third‑party fund administrator and independent auditor, and receives licensing fees when its strategies are replicated on external platforms. The firm also discloses that one advisory representative holds an active insurance license and may receive commissions for insurance sales, a potential conflict addressed in its policies.
