Our Purpose is to Create a more invested world together so that all our clients can be better off. We invest in your families, careers, and relationships – but what if you were just as invested in your financial futures?

A commitment to sustainability

Responsible stewardship of our client's capital is integral to our business and culture, and we seek
to be a global leader in creating long-term value for our stakeholders. The incorporation of ESG
considerations starts with the integration of ESG factors into our investment analysis and due diligence process.
In segments where we own and operate assets, we hold ourselves to a high standard of stewardship
and sustainability. We do this to both protect and grow the value of those assets and for the benefit
of the communities they touch. where we don't directly own assets, we're commited to intensive
due diligence and engagement with our partners and asset owners.

The strength of a global financial leader.
The heart of approximately 2000 financial advisors.

Since we were founded, we at Partfield have stayed true to our mission: To help people feel confident about their financial future. During trying economic times our strength, integrity, our breadth of services, and personal relationships have made us a longstanding leader in financial planning and advice.

We have remained true to our vision of putting our clients' interests first. We are passionate about helping you live the full and rich life you’ve earned and committed to helping you be brilliant.

A COMPANY WITH INTEGRITY

Integrity has been a core value since we were founded. It's how, through panics, recessions, and the recent pandemic, we've grown into a global financial leader. We've never lost our focus on our clients. That's who we are.

  • We have more than $100 billion in assets under management and administration.

  • We maintain leadership positions in each of our core business segments: Advice & Wealth Management, Asset Management, Annuities, and Protection.

  • We have more than 30 thousand individual, business, and institutional clients.

Relentlessly Client-Focused

We know it’s not enough to say we’re relentlessly client-focused so we prove it every day, through adaptability, ingenuity, and technology. It’s how we can proactively respond to environmental, social, and governance developments, all while providing peerless client experiences.

Unique Perspective

With a global view across billions of dollars in assets and access to one of the world’s largest financial datasets, we can see what others can’t. This unique market intelligence helps us deliver valuable insights, identify trends and innovate new ideas all in the service of our clients.

PERFORMANCE

We strive to deliver the best possible risk-adjusted returns across asset classes, styles, and geographies. Above-average returns but with below-average volatility, we want to own diverse superior businesses no matter where the area located in the world. We are style agnostic we own value companies and we own what is considered growth companies, The thing about investing is no matter how much work you do, how well you know the company, how well you think you understand the business, the world is a fluid and dynamic place and you can still be wrong. It's no the winners that ultimately determine the performances it's managing your mistakes, We believe part of our advantage is that we look out beyond one or two quarters.

The market can be very short-term thinking making those judgment calls based on what we think will look like 2 years, 5 years, 10 years from now that really isn’t bigger yet. All our public investments are based on the funds we run, we think it's a good thing to do as it aligns our interest with every unitholder as they know. That anything that happens to the funds gets better otherwise we feel it as much as anyone else and this makes for a very easy conversation when we are talking to our clients.

HIGH PERFORMANCE FROM HIGH PERFORMERS, THAT'S BETTER TOGETHER

Frequently Asked Questions

Unlike a traditional retirement plan or options provided by a company, Partfield doesn’t make you choose your own funds. Instead, we recommend a basket of funds that are diversified to seek performance without unnecessary risks—that’s a portfolio. For every goal you set at Partfield, we’ll let you choose the kind of portfolio you want and recommend a specific stock-to-bond ratio. For Partfield’s Core portfolio strategy and socially responsible investing options, we provide 101 possible stock-to-bond allocations, giving you a portfolio tailored to your goal.

An exchange-traded fund (ETF) is a security that tracks an index, a commodity, or a basket of assets just like an index fund, but trades like a stock on an exchange. Partfield uses ETFs in both our stock and bond portfolios because of the low management fees and tax efficiency they offer.

Each of your goals’ portfolios will see a different performance, depending on the stock-to-bond allocation you choose, any changes you make over time, your choice of portfolio strategy, and market volatility. We recommend your investment portfolio’s allocation based on the time horizon of your goal and what kind of goal you have. If your goal is short-term, we’ll recommend a more conservative portfolio with lower expected returns with less volatility, and if your goal is longer term, we’ll likely recommend a more aggressive portfolio with higher expected long-term returns with higher volatility.

Yes, you can have multiple portfolio strategies within your Partfield account because you can set a different portfolio strategy (and a different portfolio allocation) for each of your goals.It’s all too easy for companies to allow the pace to let up once the initial improvement targets are achieved. It’s simpler to delegate, after all. But when senior executives go back to high-level target setting and avoid immersing themselves in the details—perhaps on the dubious pretext that they don’t want to micromanage—the warning lights should be starting to flash.

Log-in or Sign-up to set your goals, choose a portfolio strategy and see the holdings at any stock-to-bond allocation you choose.

It starts with great leadership. We talk about leading by listening, which means asking the right questions to learn the root causes of why people resist. We know that a willingness to shake things up can make people more willing to think about what’s possible, and we know that setting high aspirations can inspire and motivate people.

We offer a personalized, comprehensive approach that helps our clients feel more confident.

No matter what life brings, your advisor provides personalized advice and recommendations that reflect your goals and needs.
