Sycamore Financial Advisors, Inc. works with individuals, families, small businesses, trusts, estates and related entities to provide ongoing financial planning and portfolio management as well as standalone financial planning engagements. The firm also assists clients with insurance placement and insurance contracts, noting that producers receive compensation from insurance companies for those placements.

The firm’s investment approach is built around strategic asset allocation implemented through three management tracks — a mutual fund/ETF–based strategy, a strategy using individual securities (including certain option strategies), and a personalized program that explicitly uses active option writing to generate income or hedge positions. Sycamore uses both fundamental and technical analysis, employs passive and active vehicles as appropriate, and typically manages the majority of client assets on a discretionary basis with client-specific restrictions and review schedules.

What distinguishes Sycamore from many peers is the dual role as an investment adviser and an insurance broker/agent, with disclosed commission-based compensation for some insurance products rather than solely fee-only arrangements, a structure that is relatively uncommon among similar team firms. The firm also operates with a sub-advisor arrangement for certain assets and fields multiple advisors holding industry certifications (CFP®, CPC, AIF®), supporting pension consulting and specialized plan design work in addition to household wealth management.
