Rocky Mountain Humane Investing LLC

The firm is a single‑advisor, state‑registered independent investment adviser that provides discretionary portfolio management to individual clients and offers retirement plan services for plan sponsors and participants, including fiduciary consulting and discretionary fiduciary management under ERISA. It charges asset‑based advisory fees and customizes services to client objectives, allowing investors to impose reasonable account restrictions.

Its investment approach emphasizes socially responsible, exclusionary screening — an "Original 7" screen with extensions for sustainable and vegan investing that exclude industries such as animal testing, factory farming, extractive industries, weapons and certain retailers or restaurants. Portfolios are relatively concentrated (about 20 stocks for growth/balanced strategies), built from companies with high return on invested capital and earnings momentum, using a blend of fundamental and technical analysis and occasional Treasury positions as hedges.

Atypical for a solo independent adviser, the firm manages institutional retirement plan assets and can act as an ERISA investment manager (3(38)), offering model portfolios for plan participants while disclosing and addressing rollover conflicts through an impartial conduct standard. The firm operates at a small scale (roughly $13.5 million in discretionary AUM and a $50,000 managed‑account minimum) yet combines boutique, values‑driven equity selection with formal fiduciary plan services.
