About

Zenith Investment Management provides financial planning and discretionary portfolio management to individuals (including high-net-worth clients), families, and institutional clients, and also advises pooled investment vehicles. The firm manages roughly $82 million in discretionary assets and offers comprehensive planning, ongoing consultations, and portfolio construction for taxable and retirement accounts.

The firm blends fundamental and technical analysis with strategic and tactical asset allocation, typically using equities, mutual funds, ETFs, and fixed income while recommending alternative investments and hedging strategies when suitable. For its private fund business, Zenith implements a proprietary, quantitative-driven strategy and uses discretionary trading authority; it also offers optional access to certain employer-sponsored retirement plan accounts through an account-aggregation platform.

Noteworthy distinctions include operating as an investment adviser to a private pooled fund (with a material performance allocation structure) and managing pooled-vehicle assets alongside retail and institutional accounts, which the firm discloses and monitors for conflicts of interest. Zenith also uses solicitation/lead-matching arrangements with third parties, employs different custodians for advisory accounts versus the Fund, and has an advisor who is a licensed insurance agent (devoting up to 30% of their time to insurance activities), all of which are disclosed in its Brochure and addressed by its compliance procedures.
