About
The Cavanaugh Group provides investment advisory services to individuals, trusts, qualified plans, non‑profit organizations and profit‑sharing plans, delivering portfolio management on both discretionary and non‑discretionary bases. The firm serves a relatively small client base (44 clients) and has stated it is no longer accepting new clients.
The firm follows a conservative, balanced asset‑allocation approach across equities, fixed income, mutual funds and cash, favoring long‑term discipline over market timing. Equity selection emphasizes well‑capitalized, dividend‑paying companies with consistent dividend growth and management quality, while fixed‑income allocations prioritize A‑rated corporates, U.S. government securities and staggered maturities based on internal economic models.
Distinctive features include a high level of assets managed per advisor—roughly $485 million in total AUM across a two‑person advisory team—which is uncommon among similarly supported firms and reflects concentrated, high‑value client relationships. The firm also disclosed a regulatory enforcement action: an SEC order and civil penalty for failing to file Form CRS by the required date, a disclosure event that is rare among peers.
