Forward Horizon Investment

Forward Horizon Investment provides discretionary portfolio management to individual clients, including high-net-worth individuals, and prepares an investment policy statement for each client. The firm primarily recommends equities while also using fixed income, ETFs and Treasury inflation-protected securities, manages accounts on a discretionary basis, and serves a small client base with roughly $620,000 in discretionary assets under management.

The firm combines charting, cyclical, fundamental and quantitative analysis and generally pursues a long-term trading approach, documenting risk tolerance and allocation in each client’s investment policy statement. Uncommonly for a solo independent adviser, Forward Horizon offers performance-based fee arrangements to qualified clients and discloses that such arrangements create incentives toward higher-risk investments, which it seeks to mitigate through allocation policies and best-execution practices.

Compared with peers, Forward Horizon is notable for its use of performance fees—an uncommon billing method among independent advisers—and for the principal’s significant outside role at a seed‑stage venture capital firm focused on artificial intelligence, a time commitment the brochure discloses and says is managed through separation of duties and time‑management protocols. Operationally, the firm requires clients to use a specific custodian platform and may receive research or other soft‑dollar benefits from custodians, both of which are disclosed in its brochure.
