Noble Advisors, LLC

The firm provides discretionary portfolio management for individual clients, many of whom have rolled over retirement accounts, and places client assets at a single retail custodian where accounts remain in clients’ names. It also offers supplementary financial planning services—tax planning, business planning feedback, and preliminary estate planning with referrals to specialized attorneys—primarily as an added service for managed accounts.

Its investment approach blends growth and income and relies largely on fundamental research to select stocks, bonds and mutual funds, with trades commonly aggregated across client accounts to equalize execution. The firm’s principal monitors client portfolios multiple times per week for country, sector and security exposure and selected a custodian in part for client reporting capabilities and corporate bond inventory; the brochure states there are no soft-dollar arrangements.

Notably, the firm’s principal concurrently manages separate private investment vehicles—a healthcare-focused hedge fund and a private equity/angel investing partnership—and serves on a corporate board, activities the brochure says are kept independent of client work. For a small advisory practice, the combination of active discretionary trading, frequent hands-on oversight, and the provision of business- and tax-planning input without broker-provided research or referral compensation is an uncommon operating profile.
