Founders Capital Management, LLC is a privately owned, SEC-registered investment advisory firm that provides investment advisory and asset management services to individuals, families, and businesses.
We invest in publicly traded equities and fixed-income securities—an investment focus that enables us to closely monitor our investments and avoid the high turnover rates associated with portfolios managed through multiple Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and mutual funds, along with the layer of fees that can diminish investor returns.
Our investment approach follows six basic principles:
- Services as Individual as our Clients: We do not believe that one investment solution fits every client. We believe in building lasting relationships that enable us to customize our experience and services to address each client’s needs.
- Partners in Wealth Management: We consider ourselves in partnership with our clients, and we invest our own wealth alongside theirs—in practice, managing our clients’ wealth as carefully as we manage our own.
- Direct Control, With No Hidden Layers: We make all investment decisions. We offer fee-only investment services and directly purchase securities on behalf of our clients. We do not take commissions, nor do we “hide” fees within a portfolio. When purchasing or selling a security, we seek to minimize trading and work to find the best execution approach.
- Sound Risk Management: We believe that understanding and actively managing risk is a bedrock principle of successful investing. We are committed to matching each client’s investment portfolios with specific risk tolerance.
- Rigorous Adherence to Value-Based Principles: We invest in securities that we expect to hold for an extended time. We make investment decisions only after we have thoroughly measured long-term value. We are agnostic about the market and its direction, and we approach investment with an open mind, applying a rational appraisal process.
- Commitment to Communication: We are committed to providing clients with timely and transparent information about our investment decisions and their portfolio performance.
