Shining Rock Advisors LLC

Shining Rock Advisors serves individual investors, business entities, trusts, estates, and charitable organizations, managing roughly $154 million in client assets across 25 client relationships. The firm provides discretionary portfolio management for publicly traded assets, offers advisory access to private Rule 506 offerings for accredited investors, and provides limited non‑investment consulting and referrals to tax, estate, and insurance professionals.

Investment programs are tailored to each client’s objectives, with asset allocation and security selection guided by risk tolerance, time horizon, tax considerations, and liquidity needs. Publicly traded assets are generally managed on a discretionary basis under a limited power of attorney, while private offerings are evaluated and handled on a non‑discretionary basis; the firm may also engage sub‑advisors or third‑party specialists in support of client meetings while retaining overall advisory responsibility.

Distinctive aspects include a very small, concentrated client roster—25 clients—resulting in a high asset‑per‑client relationship and a notable allocation to private, illiquid investments that are custodied and administered separately from public assets. The brochure discloses prior bookkeeping relationships between firm principals and certain private entities (services since ceased or limited) and describes policies to mitigate related conflicts; the firm also leaves proxy voting to clients rather than voting securities on their behalf.
