Corinthian Partners Asset Management, LLC

Fee-based, fiduciary advisory relationships are conducted through Corinthian Partners Asset Management, LLC, the firm’s investment-adviser affiliate, registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The broker-dealer and the investment adviser share common ownership through Corinthian Holdings, LLC; each is separately regulated, with its own Form ADV, policies, and supervisory procedures.

An advisory relationship is the correct arrangement for clients who want a continuing fiduciary framework, a transparent fee, and discretionary portfolio management supported by ongoing financial planning. We will assist prospective clients in determining whether an advisory relationship, a brokerage relationship, or a thoughtful combination of the two most closely aligns with their interests.

An SEC-registered investment adviser. Fiduciary by registration. Fee-based. Built for HNW individuals, families, and family offices.

Investment Philosophy

Wealth lasts, as a rule, when it is invested with discipline, transparency, and respect for risk. Our portfolio philosophy is long-horizon, fundamentals-driven, and explicit about what we will and will not own on a client’s behalf. We are skeptical of fashion; we are unhurried about action; and we treat capital preservation as a precondition for capital appreciation rather than as a separate objective.

Strategies are built to a client’s written Investment Policy Statement, which captures the time horizon, return objective, liquidity profile, tax sensitivity, income needs, and any concentration or values constraints. The IPS is the document we are accountable to.

Portfolio Construction

We construct portfolios from individual securities, low-cost index funds, actively managed strategies, and, where appropriate, private-market positions sourced through the firm’s Investment Banking and Capital Markets businesses. Every portfolio is sized to the client’s IPS, and every position is held for a stated reason that we can explain, at any time, in writing.

  • Equities, U.S. large-, mid-, and small-cap, developed international, emerging markets, and dividend-income strategies.
  • Fixed income, taxable and municipal, ladders, separately managed accounts, and core-plus portfolios calibrated to liquidity and tax sensitivity.
  • Alternatives, including private credit, private equity, and select hedge strategies, available to qualified clients on a suitability-reviewed basis.
  • Concentrated-stock strategies, diversification programs, exchange funds, hedging overlays, and 10b5-1 plans for executives.
  • Cash and cash-equivalents, money-market and short-duration ladders for liquidity and operating reserves.
  • Tax-aware overlays, tax-loss harvesting, asset-location optimization, and gain-budget management across taxable and tax-deferred accounts.

Strategy Models

Most clients are served by one of our standing strategy models, customized to their IPS. Custom mandates are accepted at a senior level for clients with circumstances that cannot be adequately served by a standing model.

  • Capital Preservation, conservative allocation oriented to liquidity and stability of principal.
  • Income, fixed-income-led with selected dividend equities, oriented to total cash distribution.
  • Balanced, classic diversified allocation across equities and fixed income, calibrated to a moderate risk tolerance.
  • Growth, equity-led, oriented to long-horizon capital appreciation with controlled drawdowns.
  • Tax-Managed, integrates loss harvesting, asset-location, and qualified-dividend awareness across the model lineup.
  • Concentrated-Position, custom mandates for clients with material single-stock exposure requiring diversification, hedging, or planned liquidity over time.
  • Custom HNW / Family-Office, fully bespoke mandates for households and entities whose circumstances require it.

Service Model and Reporting

  • Discretionary management against a written Investment Policy Statement.
  • Quarterly portfolio reviews, with performance, allocation, and rebalancing discussed at the cadence the client sets.
  • Annual planning reviews covering the broader household, including liquidity, taxes, retirement contributions, distributions, and beneficiary designations.
  • Consolidated reporting across Corinthian-held accounts, with custodial reporting cleared through RBC Capital Markets, LLC.
  • Direct, senior contact, every client has a named Corinthian portfolio manager and a backup, both at the senior level, for the duration of the relationship.

Wrap-Fee Programs

Many clients prefer a single, all-inclusive fee that covers portfolio management, transaction costs, and custody, rather than a separate advisory fee plus per-transaction commissions and ticket charges. Corinthian Partners Asset Management, LLC offers wrap-fee programs in four formats, each available against a written Investment Policy Statement and disclosed in advance through Form ADV Part 2A Appendix 1, the firm’s wrap-fee program brochure.

Wrap fees are typically appropriate for clients who expect ongoing portfolio activity, want a predictable annual cost, and value the operational simplicity of one statement, one fee schedule, and one point of contact. They are not appropriate for buy-and-hold portfolios with limited expected trading activity; in those cases a non-wrap advisory account is typically more economical, and we will say so.

  • Separately Managed Accounts (SMAs), individual securities portfolios run by third-party institutional managers selected by Corinthian for the strategy and the client. The client owns the underlying securities directly; the manager exercises discretion subject to the IPS.
  • Unified Managed Accounts (UMAs), a single account that blends SMA sleeves, mutual funds, ETFs, and selected individual securities under one managed structure, with a single statement and a coordinated tax-aware overlay across the sleeves.
  • Mutual-Fund Wrap Programs, diversified mutual-fund and ETF portfolios constructed by Corinthian or by a model-portfolio provider, rebalanced on a defined cadence within the wrap fee.
  • Rep-as-Portfolio-Manager (Rep-as-PM) Wraps, where the client’s named Corinthian advisor exercises discretion directly over individual securities and ETFs, customized to the client’s circumstances, all transactions covered within the inclusive fee.

Wrap-Fee Disclosures and Fit

Before any wrap account is opened, Corinthian provides Form ADV Part 2A Appendix 1, which describes the program in full, including the fee schedule, services covered, services not covered, the firm’s and the manager’s compensation, custody arrangements, conflicts of interest, and any minimum-account requirements. Clients are encouraged to consider whether a wrap structure or a non-wrap advisory account better fits their expected activity and cost profile, and Corinthian will document, in writing, the recommendation either way.

Fees and Disclosure

Our advisory fees are stated as a percentage of assets under management, disclosed in writing in advance, and itemized on every quarterly statement. Clients receive Form ADV Part 2A, the Form ADV Part 2B brochure for their named portfolio manager, and a written fee schedule before any advisory account is opened. Form CRS, the SEC’s client relationship summary, is provided concurrently and is available on the Disclosures page of this site.

We do not accept third-party compensation that would compromise the independence of our investment advice. The economics of the relationship are the fee the client pays, nothing else.
