Boutique Financial Planning and Investment Advisory Firm for Accredited Investors


Investment Planning

Many financial advisors rely nearly entirely upon mutual or exchange-traded funds to diversify their clients’ portfolios. In our view, this approach to investment management exposes you to four problems:

Divergent Investing: We blend publicly traded investments with equity in small, entrepreneurial companies. The majority of the portfolio is invested in lower risk, broadly diversified index product.  While, just 5 to 10% of the portfolio is invested in high risk, private equity that has the potential to realize a high rate of return. Private placement investment opportunities are open to accredited investors, but most financial advisors lack the time and expertise to locate promising new companies.

At River Glen, we identify and assess emerging private companies for our accredited investors–helping to match money to great new ideas.

"We commit to taking 90 to 95 % of portfolios to broadly diversify index product, focusing on cost and diversification and asset allocation... But on that last 5 to 10% of the client's portfolio, we are committed to investing in privately securities."
