About

RBF Wealth Advisors provides personalized fee‑based investment management and financial planning to individuals, profit‑sharing plans, trusts, charitable organizations, and businesses, managing approximately $716.1 million on a discretionary basis. The firm’s advisory services include asset allocation, cash flow management, education funding, retirement and estate planning, and it also operates a wrap fee program described in its Appendix 1.

Investment strategy is grounded in modern portfolio theory and global diversification, with portfolios constructed using both fundamental and technical analysis and managed primarily on a discretionary basis. Accounts are reviewed at least quarterly and custodied primarily at National Financial Services (a Fidelity affiliate), with custodial statements delivered directly to clients.

Notable distinctions include the firm’s willingness, in limited instances, to negotiate performance‑based fee arrangements for qualified clients—typically structured with a hurdle rate and a base fee to address incentive conflicts—which is uncommon among many multi‑advisor firms. Some associated persons are also registered representatives of Private Client Services, LLC and licensed insurance agents who may receive separate commissions or 12b‑1 fees for non‑advisory transactions, the firm discloses that it does not vote client proxies, and it has operated since 1984 with a relatively small staff relative to its assets under management.
