Thompson Investment Advisors

Thompson Investment Advisors provides investment counsel and portfolio management to a mix of individual and institutional clients, including individual retirement accounts, pension and profit-sharing plans, trusts, estates, charitable organizations, and corporations. The firm manages approximately $57 million in client assets and offers both discretionary and non-discretionary management across publicly traded stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, options, and cash equivalents.

The adviser uses a combination of technical and fundamental analysis, relying on securities market databases, chart patterns, and mathematical measures of accumulation or distribution to guide timing and asset allocation, and may materially increase cash-equivalent holdings during market declines. Client portfolios are established through an Investment Objective Questionnaire and the advisor typically operates under discretionary authority to implement the agreed investment guidelines.

Compared with many independent peers, Thompson’s client mix explicitly includes institutional plan sponsors and charitable organizations, a service set that is relatively uncommon for firms of this size. The brochure also notes continuity of the firm (founded in 1990 and acquired by the current president in 2021), a stated code of ethics, no receipt of commissions or product sales compensation, and reliance on custodian-provided research (soft-dollar services).
