Ponderosa Investment Group, LLC

Ponderosa Investment Group is a small, single‑principal registered investment adviser that provides discretionary and non‑discretionary portfolio management and tailored asset‑allocation advice. Its client mix includes individuals (both non‑high‑net‑worth and high‑net‑worth), charitable organizations, and institutional clients such as corporate pension and Taft‑Hartley plans, foundations, and endowments.

The firm’s investment process is asset‑allocation driven, emphasizing long‑term positions with tactical short‑term adjustments informed by ongoing macroeconomic review. It typically manages accounts under discretionary authority, can incorporate outside portfolios, and has the ability to select and retain sub‑advisers when appropriate; account reviews are conducted by the firm’s sole principal at least quarterly.

Noteworthy aspects relative to peers are the combination of a solo practitioner model with the explicit practice of selecting other advisers and serving both institutional/charitable clients and a range of individual clients—an uncommon mix for firms of this type. The firm primarily charges percentage‑of‑assets fees billed quarterly in advance, may recommend private investment partnerships while not acting as a private fund adviser, and maintains only limited custody to facilitate fee withdrawals.
