Canterbury Investment Management, LLC

Canterbury Investment Management provides discretionary portfolio management and financial planning to individuals (including high-net-worth clients), select corporations, and certain investment company and other investment-adviser clients. Its advisory services include implementation of the Canterbury Portfolio Thermostat ETF strategy, management of an affiliated mutual fund, and acting as a sub-advisor for other investment advisers.

The firm’s investment approach centers on a market-state “Thermostat” model that combines long-, medium- and short-term trends with measures of volatility and short-term market indicators to drive allocation changes, typically implemented through ETFs and mutual funds. Canterbury relies on technical, quantitative and qualitative analysis to inform portfolio decisions, conducts periodic reviews of accounts, and manages most client relationships on a discretionary basis while allowing clients to place reasonable restrictions on holdings.

Noteworthy aspects include its role as advisor to an affiliated mutual fund and its provision of sub-advisory services and management for investment company clients—relationships that the firm discloses and manages through conflict-of-interest policies and oversight. The firm also offers educational seminars or workshops and operates with a two-advisor team serving a relatively small client base, which distinguishes its operational scale and service mix from many peers.
