Ostrofe Financial Consultants, Inc. provides comprehensive financial planning, consulting and discretionary investment management to a range of clients including individual households, pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable institutions and businesses. The firm manages roughly $386 million in client assets and offers modular planning options (for example, retirement income, education financing, estate and insurance plans) as well as full financial plans.

The firm’s process begins with an initial interview and data-gathering to establish goals and risk tolerance, then emphasizes asset allocation as the primary implementation strategy, with portfolios diversified across individual equities, ETFs/ETNs, mutual funds, corporate and municipal debt, U.S. government securities and cash equivalents and rebalanced on a discretionary basis. Ostrofe states a long-term perspective with an emphasis on absolute return, permits client-imposed investment restrictions, and typically includes financial planning as part of ongoing advisory services while billing hourly if the scope of planning exceeds the standard engagement.

Notably, several of the firm’s advisors are dually registered as broker‑dealer registered representatives and are licensed insurance agents, a combination the brochure highlights as creating potential conflicts of interest and for which the firm discloses mitigation steps and client options to implement recommendations elsewhere. The firm also relies on LPL Financial’s custody, trading platform and business-support services—including historical transition assistance and platform-based trading arrangements—which the brochure identifies as a significant feature of its operational and supervisory framework.
