Mccormick Financial Advisors, LLC

The firm offers comprehensive financial planning and investment portfolio management to a selective client base that includes individuals, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, corporations and small businesses. It manages accounts on both discretionary and non‑discretionary bases and also provides advice on assets clients hold elsewhere, including acting as adviser to five employer‑sponsored retirement plans.

The firm tailors strategies to each client’s goals and risk tolerance, emphasizing diversification and the trade‑off between return and volatility, and uses fundamental research, manager vetting, and third‑party data to select mutual funds, ETFs, individual equities and fixed income. Its investment process also considers private placements and third‑party managers, evaluates ETF tracking error and bond credit quality, and incorporates tax and estate factors while not providing tax or legal advice.

Noteworthy for a solo independent adviser, the firm actively serves corporate and retirement‑plan clients and manages access to alternative investments such as private placements, hedge/venture/private equity funds, and non‑traded real estate vehicles. It also discloses the potential use of short sales, option strategies and margin in taxable accounts and maintains an institutional custody relationship that includes a stated asset commitment in exchange for access to custodial research and operational services.
