About

WaterRock Global Asset Management provides discretionary portfolio management and financial planning to individual clients, including high‑net‑worth investors. Services described in the brochure include tailored model portfolios using stocks, bonds, options, mutual funds and ETFs, plus ongoing monitoring, rebalancing and broader wealth‑management analysis.

The firm offers both passive/tactical “core” models and actively traded models and applies a mix of fundamental, technical, quantitative and qualitative analysis, with the ability to use options and hedging strategies when appropriate. Clients typically grant discretionary authority, and WaterRock bills using percentage‑of‑AUM fees while also offering an optional performance‑based fee structure for qualified investors, with performance fees assessed relative to a high‑water mark.

What is noteworthy relative to peers is the explicit availability of performance‑based fee arrangements on selected, generally aggressive models — the brochure discloses performance fees up to 20% of net profit and a qualified‑investor threshold (commonly $1.1M AUM or $2.2M net worth) and discusses side‑by‑side management procedures. The firm also discloses that its principal holds a Washington State life/health/annuity insurance license and may receive insurance compensation, participates in TD Ameritrade’s institutional program (including assistance with conferences and educational meetings), and may rebate trading fees or grant fee waivers in certain client circumstances.
