About

Leonard Rickey Investment Advisors (LRIA) serves individual and high-net-worth clients as well as trusts, estates, charitable organizations and other business entities, managing about $958 million in client assets through a nine-advisor team. The firm offers comprehensive financial planning, discretionary and non-discretionary investment management, and standalone account monitoring and reporting services, including oversight of employer‑sponsored retirement accounts, variable life/annuity options, and 529 plans.

LRIA’s investment process is built around diversification and a set of proprietary strategies: an asset‑allocation approach that emphasizes mutual funds and ETFs with a tactically managed sleeve, separate value and growth equity portfolios run with Morningstar support, and a momentum-based technical strategy that uses ETFs and a strict buy/sell discipline; LRIA also uses interval funds and, in limited cases, allocates to independent managers. The firm tailors portfolios to client risk tolerance, rebalances periodically, and uses order-management tools for certain retirement accounts.

Distinctive features disclosed in LRIA’s brochure include an affiliation with Pathway Tax Group, PLLC (owned by two LRIA principals), which the firm may recommend for tax implementation, and a staff composition with multiple credentialed accountants and advanced planning designations. LRIA also notes custody-related responsibilities (including standing letters of authorization and custody of certain 401(k) accounts subject to surprise examination) and a range of monitoring and operational services that differentiate its capabilities from many similarly sized advisory teams.
