Monroe Vos puts the interest of our clients first. We offer a transparent and disciplined relationship that gives fiduciaries and high-net-worth individuals peace of mind.  Our first priority is to protect assets and our second priority is to grow our clients’ assets in a way that considers their risk tolerance, time horizon and cash flow needs.

We are seasoned professionals who know how to solve problems and accomplish results for our clients.  

Processes, Procedures and Experience

• All of our clients go through the same processes that have been developed in house.
• The senior consultants have 37, 29 and 24 years of investment experience. (We all experienced the Crash of 1987 and Jim Monroe experienced the 1973-74 bear market)

We are innovators.

• In the late 1980s the principals of Monroe Vos pioneered the concept of rebating 12b-1 fees to clients.
• In the late 1980s the principals of Monroe Vos pioneered the use of outside funds by mutual fund recordkeepers.
• In the late 1980s the principals of Monroe Vos pioneered the “swing manager” concept for tactical asset allocation and in the 1990s we pioneered the concept of Tactical Asset Allocation we use today.
• In the 1990s we pioneered the concept of Asset Allocation Strategies for 401(k)/403(b) plans.
• In the 2000s we pioneered the concept of capping the recordkeeping fees and rebating the revenues collected by the recordkeeper above a negotiated level back to the 401(k)/403(b) plan.

We are proactive consultants.

• We use both Strategic (long-term) Asset Allocation and Tactical Asset Allocation strategies.  We believe that both must be established and used for an effective investment program.
