About

Thoroughbred Financial Services provides investment supervisory services to individuals, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, and retirement plans through both discretionary and nondiscretionary programs. The firm manages roughly $4.04 billion in client assets across programs such as Thoroughbred, Cambridge, Bond‑Timing, Envestnet-managed solutions, and a Vanguard/Ascensus retirement plan option, and it occasionally prepares comprehensive financial plans for clients.

The firm’s investment process emphasizes asset allocation as the primary determinant of risk and return, with sector allocation and manager selection as secondary considerations; portfolios generally use mutual funds and ETFs as primary vehicles, supplemented by individual equities and fixed income when appropriate. TFS combines fundamental and statistical analysis, employs both tactical and strategic management techniques, and monitors subadvisors and client accounts through periodic reviews (quarterly for many programs and at least annually for outside managers) while tailoring portfolios to client objectives and risk tolerances.

Several features distinguish TFS from many peers: it is registered and active as a broker‑dealer that clears trades through National Financial Services and discloses that it may assess commissions and receives clearing‑related bonuses and credits, which can create incentives related to execution and custody. The firm also discloses affiliated pension consulting/administrative services, ownership of an entity that sponsors limited partnership offerings to clients, operation as a licensed insurance agency whose representatives may earn commissions, and a prior SEC enforcement settlement regarding mutual fund share class selection that resulted in disgorgement, prejudgment interest and civil penalties totaling $1,679,241.88.
