Why work with Armbruster Capital Management?

Armbrust is a German word meaning "crossbow". In medieval times, an armbruster was an archer or soldier armed with a crossbow. We don't find much use for crossbows in our current occupation, but just like our ancestors, we aim to be straight shooters in all our dealings.

Why work with Armbruster Capital Management?

In addition to our expertise in creating and managing investment portfolios, we offer the following:

Investment Experts

When you work with a representative from a brokerage firm, insurance company, or bank, it is likely that you will be working with a sales representative rather than a true investment professional. Our team includes CFA charter holders and CPAs. We read primary academic research, test theories with our own quantitative analysis, and understand the tax impact of our investment decisions (yes, we’re a little nerdy).

Exceptional client service

We pride ourselves on the level of service we offer our clients. We provide all the basics, such as periodic performance reviews, quarterly statements and newsletters, and ongoing consultation via telephone and email. However, when clients need us the most, we go above and beyond. You can also use us as a resource for estate planning, financial planning, and tax issues. While we cannot offer formal advice in some of these areas, we can help discuss strategies so that you can reduce the time and money you will need to spend with your attorney or accountant.

Integrity

We always act in our clients’ best interests. In an industry where truth is hard to come by, you can rely on us to always give it to you straight. Please review our Form ADV, which we (and all investment advisors) are required to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission each year. This form details any regulatory or legal actions taken against our firm (there have been none). You can find our filing here: www.adviserinfo.sec.gov

Low Fees

In our industry, there are many financial intermediaries that charge high fees, all of which serve to reduce the returns retained by the end investor. We believe those taking the investment risk should be the ones who reap the returns. Accordingly, we keep our fees to very low levels and only use investment funds with costs that are highly competitive.

Security

We separate the investment management function from the custody function. This means that the organization managing your assets and the organization holding your assets can serve as checks and balances on one another. This greatly reduces the probability of malfeasance. We work with large institutional custody firms such as TD Ameritrade and Charles Schwab.
