Slocum, Gordon & Co. LLP

Slocum, Gordon & Co. LLP provides discretionary portfolio management and related advisory services to individuals (including high‑net‑worth clients), pension and profit‑sharing plans, charitable organizations, corporations, and state and municipal government entities. Services include ongoing investment management, IRA rollover guidance, and, in some cases, a partner serving as trustee on client accounts.

The firm constructs customized portfolios and monitors them on a regular basis, applying asset‑allocation discipline alongside security selection using fundamental, quantitative, qualitative and technical/charting analysis. Accounts are generally managed on a discretionary basis with periodic rebalancing and a mix of long‑ and short‑term strategies across equities, ETFs, mutual funds, fixed income, and real estate vehicles as appropriate to client objectives and risk tolerances.

Distinctive features include the firm’s work with state and municipal government clients—a client type that is relatively uncommon for peers of this size—and the availability of trustee services that result in the firm being deemed to have custody and subject to surprise custody examinations, with an additional audit cost allocated to affected clients. The adviser also maintains an institutional custody and brokerage relationship that provides platform and practice‑support services, and it discloses policies on trade aggregation and mutual fund share‑class selection meant to address related conflicts.
