The Aspen Equity Group

The Aspen Equity Group serves individual investors — including both high‑net‑worth and non‑HNW clients — as well as trusts, estates, pension and profit‑sharing plans, charitable organizations, corporations and other business entities. The firm provides discretionary investment supervisory services, financial planning, strategic development, and private placement consulting, typically charging asset‑based fees and delivering portfolio management for individual accounts.

AEG implements five model portfolios (Aggressive Growth, Growth, Balanced, Income, Capital Appreciation) and follows an active “Value + Momentum” approach that combines fundamental and technical screening, weekly research updates, and hedging techniques. The firm commonly uses ETFs and, when indicated by its models, may employ inverse or leveraged instruments and elevated cash positions to adjust net market exposure; portfolios are model‑driven and generally not bespoke, though client‑specific restrictions are considered on a case‑by‑case basis.

What sets AEG apart from many peers is that it also sponsors and serves as portfolio manager to a private long/short equity hedge fund, reporting pooled vehicle clients and a performance‑based fee allocation for that fund while managing roughly $36.7 million across about 41 client accounts. Because of the fund activity, the firm reports having access custody of certain limited partner capital accounts (about 29% of assets) and discloses time‑allocation and side‑by‑side management conflicts, with overlapping investment methodology, shared custodian arrangements, and annual audits used to address those issues.
