Steven Hecht Investments, Inc.

Steven Hecht Investments Inc. provides portfolio management services to individuals and a range of institutional clients, including small businesses, corporate pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and foundations. The firm uses a mix of securities—equities, warrants, corporate and municipal debt, mutual funds, ETFs, U.S. government securities, and limited options—to implement client portfolios.

Advice and portfolio construction are personalized and monitored on an ongoing basis, with rebalancing when market conditions or a client’s circumstances change; the firm generally manages accounts on a discretionary basis when granted authority. Its investment process draws on fundamental, technical and charting analysis and may employ both long- and short-term holdings and covered option writing depending on client objectives.

Notably, SHI’s client roster explicitly includes charitable organizations and foundations, a client type that is relatively uncommon among independent advisers of this category. The firm also treats cash and margin positions as part of assets under management for billing purposes and generally requires a $250,000 account minimum (subject to waiver), practices that can affect account composition and client suitability.
