RCN Wealth Advisors, Inc.

RCN Wealth Advisors, Inc. is a fee‑only SEC‑registered adviser that serves individuals, high‑net‑worth clients, trusts, corporations and an exchange‑traded fund, managing roughly $74.5 million across discretionary separately managed accounts and a sub‑advisory relationship. Its services include ongoing portfolio management, financial planning, and acting as sub‑adviser to the RCN Pareto Strategic Allocation ETF.

The firm documents client goals and constraints in an Investment Policy Statement and provides discretionary management that mixes long‑term, value‑oriented allocations with tactical, rules‑based strategies and periodic rebalancing. It discloses and implements more active tools than many peers — including options strategies and, where appropriate, the use of borrowed funds (margin) in separately managed accounts — while the ETF strategy relies on systematic trend‑following and momentum signals across multiple asset classes and may employ options for hedging.

RCN Wealth Advisors’ role as both manager of separate accounts and sub‑adviser/sponsor to its own ETF — an investment company client that generates separate sub‑advisory compensation and potential profit sharing — is an uncommon arrangement for a solo independent adviser and is explicitly disclosed as a conflict the firm seeks to mitigate (for example, by considering advisory fee offsets on ETF holdings). The combination of managing institutional and investment‑company clients and the documented use of derivatives and borrowing in SMAs differentiates its investment capabilities from most firms of similar size.
