About

Jack V. Butterfield Investment Company serves individual investors (including high-net-worth clients), trusts and pension/401(k) plans, offering brokerage and advisory services that include stocks, bonds, mutual funds, retirement accounts and insurance products. The firm reports roughly 208 client relationships and generally requires a $25,000 minimum to open an advisory account.

The firm’s advisory program is primarily client-directed and non-discretionary: advisors provide written recommendations after a risk-profile questionnaire and clients retain final trading authority. It also offers a fee-based option that places assets with institutional money managers that may have discretionary authority, but as of 12/31/2025 the firm reported its AUM as entirely non-discretionary—a characteristic that is uncommon for similarly sized team firms.

Distinctive features include the firm’s combination of registered broker-dealer and municipal securities activities alongside advisors who are registered representatives and licensed for insurance, a mix that the brochure identifies as creating material conflicts of interest. The firm also highlights long-term operation since 1946, majority family ownership, reliance on a correspondent platform with custody at a third-party custodian, and a practice of not aggregating client trades.
