Piccolo Investment Consulting, LLC

Piccolo Investment Consulting provides discretionary portfolio management and financial consulting to a mix of individual clients (including high‑net‑worth households) and institutional entities such as pension and profit‑sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and corporations. The firm constructs portfolios using individual stocks and bonds, exchange‑traded funds and no‑load or load‑waived mutual funds, and it also offers standalone consulting and retirement‑account advice.

Portfolios are tailored to each client’s investment objectives and risk tolerance, with periodic reviews and rebalancing and an investment process that relies on third‑party research, statistical databases, company filings and both fundamental and technical inputs. The firm generally operates with discretionary authority for accounts, addresses rollovers and retirement advice under ERISA fiduciary standards, and provides written disclosures to help clients evaluate retirement‑account choices.

Noteworthy features include a very small advisory team (two advisors) overseeing roughly $110 million for about 195 clients while offering hourly consulting in addition to asset‑management services. The firm discloses material outside income for its principal (oil and gas royalties) and that some personnel may be registered representatives of broker‑dealers—arrangements it identifies as potential conflicts of interest—and in limited cases clients may grant written authorizations that result in the firm having custody.
