An SEC-Registered, Independent Investment Advisor

Independence is more than just a word.  It speaks to the ability of financial professionals to cut through the noise of hidden agendas to the fundamentals, and stay ahead of the crowd.

                    Thomas M. Nolan, July 1996

While markets rise and fall the steady hand of a right-sized investment advisor can be your most valuable asset.  Objective investment decisions can only be made with a solid understanding of fundamental data and the experience to turn that understanding into solid portfolio strategies. 

At ACM, we have the capability to make our own decisions independent of the agendas of Wall Street.  With that capability comes the ability to exceed client expectations. 

Mutual funds and annuities are slaves to the crowd mentality - they are set up to be.  Over the long-term it is no wonder that 95% of them underperform the markets.

Investors do have choices when it comes to investment management.  While big firms' advertising push the perception of client centered management, the actual investment decisions typically involve products and mutual funds.  Because we have our own research capability, we do not use investment products.  We invest client money directly in stocks and bonds.  That lets us dictate strategies that are independent of Wall Street and the rest of the crowd.
