The firm provides discretionary portfolio management and investment consulting primarily for individual clients and trusts, combining managed accounts with tailored financial planning and hourly consulting. It serves a very small client base and typically sets a $100,000 account guideline while retaining discretion to accept smaller accounts.

The investment approach emphasizes a long-term global perspective and broad multi-asset diversification, with core equity and income holdings complemented by satellite theme positions and occasional individual securities. The adviser uses a mix of fundamental, technical and charting analysis, generally avoids market timing but may reduce equity exposure when market conditions appear unfavorable, and communicates with clients through newsletters and special bulletins.

Distinctive features include a solo-adviser model with relatively high assets per client and a long operating history beginning in 1988, together with the proprietor’s prior legal background which underpins a compliance-focused practice. The firm does not accept transaction-based compensation, typically directs custody and trade execution through a major national custodian, and maintains a personal-trading disclosure policy that can include concurrent personal and client transactions disclosed in advance.
