SEC-Registered Investment Adviser

One systematic process for every asset

Stocks, bonds, ETFs, and digital assets — scored through the same research-backed framework. SEC-registered fiduciary. Non-custodial.

How We Invest

There are far more analytical tools, data sources, and capabilities available today than even five years ago. We use them — but investment decisions still need human judgment, fiduciary accountability, and regulatory compliance. Technology helps us understand and explain. Humans decide.

What market are we in?

Markets move through distinct phases. We classify the current environment using measurable signals — not forecasts or predictions.

Will this asset last?

Every holding passes through 8 quality checks based on established academic research. The same checks apply to Apple stock, a Treasury bond, and Bitcoin.

How much should we own?

Higher-quality, better-fitting assets get larger positions. When conditions change, the framework adjusts — documented and auditable.

Choose Your Starting Point

Every client is different. Start with the track that matches your situation.

Corporate Treasuries

A well-managed treasury is a survival tool. We build strategies anchored to stable runway, cash flow certainty, and long-term viability — whether you hold cash, bonds, digital assets, or a mix.

Treasury Advisory Take Treasury Diagnostic

Founders & Executives

Concentrated equity or token wealth is not the same as financial security. We build diversification, custody, and income plans that protect your life without betraying your conviction.

Founder Advisory Take Founder Diagnostic

Complex Portfolios

At a certain portfolio size, the tools that got you here become the risks. We bring institutional-grade custody, yield optimization, and estate planning for multi-asset wealth.

Everyone

Honest Fit

As fiduciaries, our obligation is to meet your goals — not impose our biases. We're both traditional and forward-leaning, which isn't for everybody. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so.

We may be a good fit if you...

Want a systematic, research-backed approach applied to all asset types — traditional and digital

Have concentrated equity or token positions that need structured diversification

Value transparency — our scoring is open source, our profiles are public, our process is documented

Are comfortable with a younger firm (formed 2025) that uses quantitative frameworks and technology

Want a second opinion on your current plan or portfolio

Alternatives we recommend

Conservative, passive wealth management? These fiduciary-only directories connect you with excellent advisors: XYPN, NAPFA, Let's Make a Plan.

Manage your own portfolio? Bogleheads is an outstanding community for self-directed, evidence-based investing.

Want a second opinion first? Schedule a consultation — we'll be honest about whether we're the right fit.

Conservative means different things to different people — it's not as simple as selecting a box. We think everyone could benefit from understanding their own behavioral biases and investment approach, regardless of which adviser they choose.
