Winthrop Partners - EPA, LLC

Winthrop Partners – EPA, LLC provides investment management, financial planning and a subscription-based planning service to individuals, high-net-worth clients, trusts, estates, charitable organizations and certain business and retirement-plan clients. Services include discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management across individual equities, fixed income, mutual funds and ETFs, as well as goal-based planning and coordination with clients’ tax, estate and insurance advisors.

The firm follows a top-down/bottom-up process that sets an overall asset allocation and sector weights before selecting individual securities using fundamental analysis and third-party screening; it also uses mutual funds and ETFs to access additional asset classes. Portfolios are constructed to match client risk profiles with model allocations ranging from ultra-conservative to aggressive growth, and the firm maintains a “Legacy Portfolio” program to manage concentrated or low-cost-basis positions with tax-aware liquidation or gifting options.

Winthrop is operated alongside affiliated Winthrop advisors under common control and treats employees of those affiliates as supervised persons, a relationship disclosed in its brochure. The firm also discloses the use of compensated third‑party promoters and, unusually for peers, uses endorsements and testimonials in its advertising, and it recommends a preferred custodian whose software and trading support it receives and discloses as a potential conflict.
