Helping to provide a high level of prudent financial guidance.
Since 1987, we have been providing comprehensive investment consulting, financial planning, and portfolio management services to high-net-worth institutions, individuals, and families.
Our portfolio construction methodology follows the lead of the Ivy League endowments, employing absolute return and other alternative assets alongside traditional equity and fixed income investments. The resulting portfolios seek market-like performance while potentially shouldering less risk through diversification and the expertise of tactical asset managers.
We offer our clients fixed-income experience, a customized approach to asset allocation and a commitment to extensive research on investment vehicles and money managers.
We have worked together as a team for more than 10 years and find that our skills and interests complement one another well.
We're not the kind of advisors who are going to be calling you each month with yet another investment idea. Rather, we rely on the investment policy statement we create for you to serve as our guidance and foundation.
We spend a lot of time on investment manager due diligence and research to identify opportunistic managers who have the flexibility to invest across geographic areas and generous timelines. Our steadfast goal is to attempt to mitigate long-term risk and capture less downside in the market.

Rules of conduct for fiduciaries include knowing standards, laws and trust provisions, diversifying assets, developing investment and education policies, using prudent professionals and monitoring their activity, managing and accounting for all plan expenses and avoiding conflicts of interest.
