About

The Dala Group, LLC provides investment advisory and financial planning services to individuals, high-net-worth individuals, and business entities. Services include comprehensive portfolio management (combined with financial planning across cash flow, insurance, taxes, retirement, and estate topics) as well as shorter, time-limited financial consulting engagements.

TDG delivers portfolio management exclusively through its wrap fee program, offering both discretionary and non-discretionary management and using fundamental, quantitative, and qualitative analysis alongside asset-allocation strategies. Portfolios are monitored and rebalanced periodically, and the firm may recommend individual bonds through a third-party dealer (SP Financial Group) with client-specific proposals reviewed by the firm’s CIO before bonds are moved into the client’s Schwab account.

Several features distinguish TDG from many peers: it acts as a wrap program sponsor (providing trade execution and advisory services together) and, atypically for similar team firms, uses endorsements and testimonials in its advertising. The firm also discloses its use of third-party bond markups (with the dealer retaining those fees), maintains a policy against revenue-sharing mutual fund share classes within its wrap program, and combines those operational choices with institutional custodian relationships and a compact adviser team.
