Intricate Investment Solutions

Our tailored investment strategies are designed to meet the specific needs and personalized restrictions of each client. We work with advisors to determine the client’s financial goals, liquidity needs and risk tolerance. Using goal-based strategies, we develop a customized portfolio focused on long-term financial success.

Equities

We focus on top-down, bottom-up fundamental analysis to uncover optimal equity securities that align with an individual client’s investment policy. Portfolios are primarily built through individual stocks with a focus on domestic, large-cap companies.

Stonebridge’s equity investment style provides a method for growth and income generation through three distinct strategies: Growth, Growth and Income, and Dividend Income.

Fixed Income

We maintain a conservative risk profile via a bottom-up security selection process. Fixed income portfolios are constructed through individual bonds with investment-grade ratings that are well-diversified across issuers and sectors.

Our fixed income investment style provides a method for principal protection, alongside liquidity and income needs through two strategies: Tax-Exempt and Taxable.

"We offer specialized solutions for every advisor, supporting their practice and meeting their clients' needs."
