About

SWBC Investment Company provides investment advisory and financial planning services to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients) and a variety of institutional clients, and also acts as investment adviser to registered mutual funds and private pooled investment vehicles. The firm reports managing roughly $256 million in discretionary assets through a team of advisors and offers portfolio management, financial planning, and a wrap fee program.

SWBC typically delivers discretionary portfolio management using internal portfolio managers, third‑party sub‑advisers and model portfolios, and it can implement client‑requested restrictions such as ESG screens or exclusions. The firm also serves as a third‑party money manager/sub‑adviser for unaffiliated advisors and makes retirement plan consulting available through an affiliated group retirement plan adviser.

What distinguishes SWBC from many peers is its closer integration with product distribution and fund‑sponsoring activities: it is affiliated with a broker‑dealer and with insurance distribution, some representatives are both registered representatives and licensed insurance agents, and SWBC sponsors and advises private investment funds (including acting as general partner and receiving carried interest). These affiliations mean the firm engages in pooled vehicle management, broker‑dealer activities and other financial product sales that the brochure discloses can create conflicts of interest and are addressed in its disclosures and policies.
