Vaughn Investment Advisors Inc

Vaughn Investment Advisors provides fee-only portfolio management and investment advice to a small number of individual and institutional clients, including retirement accounts, trusts, profit-sharing plans, and corporations. The firm advises across equities, corporate and government debt, municipal securities, exchange-traded products, and options.

The firm’s investment process is team-based, with regular meetings multiple times per week that begin with a top-down macroeconomic and market assessment followed by bottom-up selection using fundamental, technical, and charting analysis. Portfolios are tailored to client goals and risk tolerances, emphasize diversification (including the use of ETFs/ETNs), and seek to limit turnover to manage tax consequences.

Noteworthy aspects include a relatively small client roster combined with substantial assets under management, which indicates a concentrated, high-touch client focus and long continuity from an earlier advisory business dating back decades. The firm requires clients to custody assets with a single qualified custodian, discloses use of custodial research and services (and the related potential conflicts), aggregates block trades across sub-accounts to equalize execution, and operates without accepting third‑party commissions.
