Traver Financial Consulting Network PA

Traver Financial Consulting Network, PA provides portfolio management and fee-based financial planning to individuals — including high-net-worth clients — and to select corporate pension and profit-sharing plans. The firm operates as a small, single-advisor practice managing roughly $88 million across about 54 client relationships.

Portfolios are constructed using diversified asset-allocation models with ETFs as a core holding and a mix of fundamental analysis for security selection and technical analysis for timing; investment vehicles may include individual stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange-traded funds, options and other public or private investments. The firm discloses use of margin borrowing and options/derivatives in separately managed accounts and notes it bills advisory fees on securities purchased on margin, which it identifies as a material risk and potential incentive to consider.

Noteworthy features include a solo, CFP®‑credentialed advisor model with annual account reviews and a willingness to employ derivatives and borrowing in client accounts — practices that are relatively uncommon among similarly supported firms. The brochure also discloses a 2014 administrative settlement with the Florida Office of Financial Regulation (consent to findings and an $8,500 fine, paid) relating to recordkeeping and custody safeguards; the firm states it is currently operating in good standing.
