RP Zeigler Investment Services

RP Zeigler Investment Services is a state-registered independent advisory firm that provides discretionary portfolio management, comprehensive financial planning (including an upfront plan and ongoing monthly monitoring), hourly financial planning, and tax return preparation to individuals, high-net-worth individuals, and businesses. The firm reports approximately $64.7 million in assets under management across about 83 client relationships and does not impose a firmwide account minimum.

The firm constructs client-specific investment policies and asset-allocation targets through personal discussions and implements those plans primarily via passive investment management using index mutual funds and ETFs, while also employing fundamental, technical, cyclical, and charting analysis as part of its research process. Accounts are managed on a discretionary basis with regular reviews (at least quarterly) and monitoring for tax considerations, client-imposed restrictions, and changes in goals.

Noteworthy features relative to peers include in-house tax preparation services and the principal’s ownership of a separate tax-preparation practice, with referrals between the two entities disclosed as uncompensated, and the firm’s stated willingness to include tax preparation for larger relationships. The brochure also indicates the firm offers educational seminars or workshops in addition to one-on-one services and participates in an institutional custodian program that supports bundled planning and investment service options.
