Zak Advisory, LLC

Zak Advisory, LLC provides discretionary investment management to individuals, estates, trusts, pensions, IRAs, corporations, and other business entities, managing roughly $6.0 million for about 29 clients. Services focus on portfolio management with the ability to tailor account restrictions or accept client-directed investments.

The firm confines client assets to two defined approaches — an Aggressive Balanced Income style and an Aggressive Growth style — and allocates between them based on each client’s risk/return profile. These strategies emphasize individual security selection across small, mid and large-cap equities and may include MLPs, REITs, and unrated or non‑investment grade fixed income, with the adviser operating on a discretionary basis and performing research in-house while directing clients to a recommended custodian for execution and custody (Charles Schwab).

Noteworthy characteristics relative to peers include the deliberate limitation to only two named investment styles and an explicit allowance for concentrated positions and lower‑rated fixed income, which can increase volatility compared with more diversified managers. Additional distinguishing practices are the firm’s internal research model without soft‑dollar arrangements, a policy that leaves proxy voting to clients, and the availability of per‑security advisory arrangements for certain institutional bond and equity advice.
