About

Terry McDaniel & Company provides discretionary management of stock and bond portfolios for individuals, individual retirement accounts, trusts, estates and charitable organizations. With about $1.92 billion in assets under management distributed across seven advisers, the firm operates at a substantially higher assets-per-adviser level than most comparable team firms.

The firm’s investment process is centered on bottom-up fundamental research conducted by an in-house analyst team; analysts are required to hold the CFA designation or be enrolled in the CFA program. Portfolios are managed with a long-term orientation—equity sleeves are typically concentrated (around 25 holdings) with low turnover, while fixed-income allocations emphasize investment-grade, short-to-intermediate maturities and tax-aware decisions.

Terry McDaniel & Company does not offer standalone financial planning services and instead focuses on portfolio management, generally requiring a $1,000,000 account minimum (waivers possible). The firm also does not vote client proxies, conducts formal quarterly reviews, and follows trading practices—such as consulting clients before trades and not routinely bunching orders—that can produce different execution outcomes compared with many peers.
