Firm profile
FINTRXOverview
Ascend Investment Partners is an independent registered investment adviser formed in 2020 and organized as an LLC. The firm acts as a capital allocator for both individual/family and institutional clients, offering financial planning, discretionary portfolio management for individuals and small businesses, pension consulting and selection of other advisers. Fee arrangements include percentage-of-AUM billing and hourly charges. Ascend does not position itself as an ESG-focused manager and reports a single-state adviser status. The firm deploys third-party managers for alternative strategies and supplements core portfolios with mutual funds and annuities. It identifies equities—particularly exchange-traded equities—as its primary asset preference and appears to run a relatively concentrated public equity program alongside an allocation to non‑public alternatives.
