About

Van Cleef Asset Management provides discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management and investment counsel primarily to individual, family and trust clients, and also to a limited number of religious and charitable organizations. The firm operates on a fee-only, percentage-of-assets basis and does not participate in wrap fee programs or charge performance-based fees.

The firm’s investment approach emphasizes a total-return, all-cap philosophy that combines actively managed ideas with low-cost passive exposures; equity portfolios are typically concentrated (15–25 holdings) with a 2–3 year time horizon and estimated annual turnover of 15–30%. Research is conducted through a lateral, team-based structure and implemented via an Investment Committee; fixed income strategies favor laddered maturities and holding bonds to maturity when appropriate.

Compared with many peer teams, Van Cleef’s scale is notable: the firm reported roughly $1.19 billion in assets under management as of December 31, 2025 across about 225 client relationships and a small advisory team, resulting in an uncommon level of AUM per advisor. The firm also explicitly invites current and prospective clients to observe Investment Committee meetings (with safeguards around voting), reflecting a relatively uncommon openness about its decision-making process.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
