Droms Strauss Wealth Management provides customized investment management and financial planning advice to high-net-worth individuals, associated trusts and estates, pension and profit-sharing plans, charitable organizations, businesses and other legal entities. The firm manages roughly $806 million across discretionary and non-discretionary accounts and generally invests client assets in institutional mutual funds, ETFs and structured notes, occasionally engaging unaffiliated independent managers for portions of client portfolios.

The firm works with each client to establish an Investment Policy Statement that guides ongoing portfolio management, and an internal Investment Committee conducts fundamental analysis of securities and funds. Droms Strauss’ investment process is grounded in modern portfolio theory with an emphasis on asset allocation as a driver of long-term performance, and it typically maintains multi-year investment horizons while retaining flexibility to react to market developments.

Droms Strauss is notable for its accounting affiliation: a principal is a certified public accountant who continues to practice accounting on a limited basis, and the firm historically operated a now‑inactive risk management subsidiary, with referrals to outside accountants and attorneys disclosed to clients. The firm is also subject to certain custody practices (including fee debiting and use of standing letters of authorization) that require an annual surprise examination, and it disclosed a settled SEC enforcement matter in 2024 related to marketing disclosures, for which it removed the inconsistent language and paid a fine.
