ABOUT

Who We Are

General Partner, Inc. is a truly independent and unconflicted investment firm designed to create custom, fee efficient, durable whole-portfolio solutions geared specifically for each client’s unique needs.

As a registered investment advisor, we take our fiduciary responsibility to our clients very seriously. Drawing on two decades of successfully working with affluent families, endowments, foundations and pensions, we partner with select clients to help them navigate the complexities of today’s financial markets.

We are a dedicated partner and advocate, providing a high level of personalized service.

How We’re Different

We offer a clean alternative to the high fee, highly conflicted and murky world of the large investment management firms.

By eliminating these impediments to investment success, we are completely open about our practices and are in a position to do what is right for our partners. Integrity is paramount in everything we do.

Our Approach

How We Invest

We design portfolios that avoid overly aggressive, trendy or flashy (and oftentimes expensive) strategies in favor of portfolios that stick to the fundamentals that drive investment returns.

This approach eliminates much of the friction that erodes value over time. Practical investment planning allows our clients to create long-term sustainability and growth.
