About
Successful Portfolios provides personalized financial planning and discretionary portfolio management to individuals, families, high-net-worth clients, trusts, pension and profit-sharing plans, charitable organizations and corporations. The firm also serves as portfolio manager and administrator for two private pooled investment vehicles (Evans Cook LLC and Barrett Evans Capital LLC), offering shares to accredited investors under private offering memoranda.
The firm constructs customized portfolios using readily marketable stocks, bonds, options and ETFs and applies a multi-faceted research process that includes fundamental, technical and quantitative analysis. It uses tools such as the IBKR Risk Navigator, Monte Carlo simulations and value-at-risk measures, and offers a performance-based fee alternative (quarterly mark-to-market with a high-water mark) in addition to its standard AUM-based fees.
Compared with many peers of similar size, Successful Portfolios combines a relatively large asset base for a three-advisor practice (approximately $281.5 million, with about 92% discretionary assets) with private fund sponsorship and administration—EC and BEC hold roughly $2.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively—and the firm is arranging an annual surprise audit because regulators may deem it to have custody of those fund assets. The firm also manages variable annuity portfolios through Nationwide, participates in custodial programs at Interactive Brokers and Charles Schwab, and documents use of options and quantitative stress-testing that are less common among supported firms.
