About

Empire Financial Management Company provides discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management and financial planning services to a mix of individual clients (including high‑net‑worth individuals), trusts, estates, corporations and other business entities through separately managed accounts. The firm typically requires a minimum account size (generally stated as $150,000) and offers portfolio management along with year‑end reporting to assist clients with tax reporting.

The firm’s investment process begins with a tailored asset allocation for each client and primarily employs equities, fixed income and cash equivalents while retaining the ability to use options, derivatives, short sales and, in limited cases, leverage or concentrated strategies. Accounts are reviewed at least quarterly, the firm may recommend outside money managers or mutual funds, and it discloses the ability to charge performance‑based fees.

Notable operational features disclosed in the brochure include an affiliation with an SEC‑registered broker‑dealer and related insurance entity, with advisory account assets potentially held at RBC and trades introduced through the affiliated broker‑dealer; the firm’s disclosure also notes that a managing member accepts commissions through the broker‑dealer. The firm further describes the use of soft‑dollar arrangements that can include periodical subscriptions and other non‑monetary benefits, and it reserves the right to pay referral fees, each of which the brochure identifies as potential conflicts of interest.
