Koplan & Associates

Koplan & Associates is a small, independent, fee‑based investment adviser that provides discretionary asset management and ongoing portfolio monitoring to individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, trusts, and business entities. The firm also provides accounting and tax services through its managing member and offers public educational seminars and workshops at no cost.

The firm implements client programs primarily on a discretionary basis, using model selection and asset allocation informed by methods such as modern portfolio theory, fundamental, technical and cyclical analysis; clients receive an initial evaluation (net‑worth/risk analysis) and periodic reviews, generally quarterly. Koplan & Associates routinely uses third‑party managers and wrap program platforms, selecting models and, in some programs, retaining authority to hire and fire sub‑advisors consistent with clients’ objectives and any imposed restrictions.

Distinctive features include the managing member’s concurrent Certified Public Accountant practice (the brochure indicates roughly 65% of the managing member’s time is spent on accounting work) and the firm’s regular public seminars, both of which are uncommon among solo independent advisers. The firm also discloses fee‑sharing and incentive arrangements with third‑party portfolio managers and a wrap‑fee provider, and it operates with a small client base and modest assets under management, which shapes how it accesses external model portfolios and services.
