OUR VISION
Patrick Byrne, founded Aspetuck Financial in 2005. His main goal in establishing the firm was, and still is today, to help retirees and those looking to retire, manage their wealth. In doing so, he wanted to remain independent from large institutional influences that can sometimes undermine the best interests of the individual investor. For that reason, the firm was begun as an Independent Registered Investment Advisor (RIA) and remains independent for the same reason today.
We are not stockbrokers or mutual fund representatives. Our job is to manage your money, and we have a fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of our clients at all times. Aspetuck Financial Management is a conservative investment management firm specializing in managing retirement assets. Aspetuck is a research-driven firm. We spend most of our time following the markets and researching the factors that impact the global markets and, in turn, our portfolios.
Each client portfolio is actively and individually managed based on the client’s risk tolerance, income needs, time horizon and the overall investment goals of that portfolio. We charge a fee for our services and are not compensated by commission for what we buy for or sell to our clients. Instead, as a fee-based investment manager, we are incentivized to protect and to grow our clients’ accounts over time.
Our custodial and brokerage services providers are Charles Schwab institutional Services and TD Ameritrade Institutional. Aspetuck Financial Management is the adviser to your account. Our clients have the ability to check their balances and monitor their accounts on these platforms at all times.
