About

Safe Harbor Asset Management provides discretionary portfolio management, financial planning, and retirement plan consulting to individuals, high-net-worth clients, and pension/profit-sharing plans. Like many supported advisers, it charges percentage-of-AUM fees for portfolio management and delivers regular account monitoring and quarterly reporting.

The firm emphasizes a quantitative, drawdown-focused investment process developed in partnership with Redwood Investment Management, offering five Engineered Risk Budget (ERB) portfolios that combine low-cost passive ETFs and mutual funds with tactically risk-managed strategies, private debt, and Redwood specialized funds. Portfolios are rebalanced in collaboration with Redwood and are designed to meet numeric drawdown guidelines with an emphasis on capital preservation.

The brochure discloses several practices that are less common among peers: the firm holds invitation-only educational seminars, its representatives act as licensed insurance brokers and receive customary insurance commissions, and it engages in compensated testimonials or endorsements under written agreements in compliance with Rule 206(4)-1. It also discloses marketing relationships with certain product sponsors that reimburse website and search-engine optimization expenses, noting these arrangements as potential conflicts of interest that it seeks to mitigate.
