Fien Capital Management, LLC

Fien Capital Management provides investment management and consulting to a mix of individual clients (including high-net-worth individuals) and institutional entities such as retirement plans, charitable institutions, foundations, endowments, trusts, estates and corporations. The firm offers ongoing portfolio management and consulting, generally under written advisory agreements that specify discretionary or non-discretionary authority.

The firm’s investment process relies primarily on fundamental analysis and long-term portfolio construction, using bonds, stocks, ETFs and mutual funds with an asset-allocation approach across cash equivalents, income-oriented and equity-oriented securities. Portfolios are tailored to client risk tolerance, time horizon, cash flow and tax considerations, and accounts are reviewed on a continuing basis with in-depth quarterly reviews.

Notably, all of the firm’s reported assets are managed on a discretionary basis and the firm accepts a range of institutional clients in addition to individual investors, which is less common for firms of its size. Fien recommends Charles Schwab as custodian and uses Schwab Advisor Services’ institutional support, maintains a Code of Ethics that permits monitored employee trading with pre-clearance, and typically votes client proxies (disclosing and seeking consent for material conflicts).
