What We Do

Three commitments behind every client account.

The FAN Advisors platform is built around outstanding, personal investment advisory services. That focus shapes everything: how we advise, how your assets are managed, and how they are safeguarded.

Advisory Services

As an SEC Registered Investment Advisor, we are held to a fiduciary standard, so we are required to act in your best interest at all times. We back that up by continually training and supporting the advisors who serve you.

Investment
Management

Your assets are managed by a diversified lineup of proven institutional money managers. When it fits your strategy, your advisor can also use ETFs, mutual funds, and individually listed securities.

Custody
of Assets

An independent custodian holds your funds and securities, processes your deposits and withdrawals, and sends regular statements. Your assets are always safeguarded outside our firm.

Due Diligence

Every manager vetted. Every custodian reviewed.

We do the ongoing homework so you don't have to, holding every partner to clear, written standards.

Evaluate & Monitor

Our money managers

Before we select an institutional money manager, we run a full due-diligence review. Once selected, every manager is monitored on an ongoing basis against clear standards:

  • Strict adherence to stated investment objectives
  • Strategic use of underlying investment holdings
  • Adherence to our Portfolio Manager Quality Standards
Select & Verify

Our custodians

For the advisory services we offer, the firm holds agreements with independent custodians. Your advisor recommends the right one based on the services you receive.

Custodians are reviewed no less than once a year to verify compliance with regulations and to confirm they are operating at the highest levels of service.

Our Philosophy

Advice aligned with your interests.

Clients expect outstanding investment management at a reasonable price. Everything we have built exists to deliver exactly that, and to hold to two principles that many firms cannot.

Two Principles

Built to stay on your side.

Together, the following two principles remove the quiet conflicts of interest that cost clients elsewhere. Every recommendation stays focused on one thing: what is best for you.

Complete Independence

Privately owned and debt free, and owned by no investment company. We are free to choose only the best money managers for you, and to remove any that no longer measure up.

Quick Answers

Questions clients ask.

FAQ icon

Who actually holds my money?

An independent custodian, not FAN Advisors. The custodian holds your funds and securities, processes your deposits and withdrawals, and sends you regular account statements, so your assets are safeguarded outside our firm.

FAQ icon

Does FAN sell its own investment products?

No. We act only as a referring RIA and select unaffiliated money managers. We do not create in-house or proprietary products, so no one here has a financial incentive to recommend anything but what is right for you.

FAQ icon

How are my investments actually managed?

A diversified lineup of proven institutional money managers buys, sells, and allocates within their portfolios. When it fits your goals, your advisor can also use ETFs, mutual funds, and individually listed securities.
