Firm profile

FINTRX

Overview

Breakwater Investment Group, LLC is a small, client-focused advisory firm that manages tailored portfolios for individuals, families and select institutional or business clients. The firm leans heavily on pooled public vehicles—mutual funds and ETFs—for core exposure while offering discretionary portfolio management alongside non‑discretionary advisory services. Its fee approach is flexible, combining percentage-of-AUM billing with hourly and fixed-fee arrangements, which suits a mix of ongoing wealth management relationships and project-based advisory work such as pension consulting or workshops. Investment activity appears centered on conventional long-only allocations implemented through public funds, with education and pension consulting included among its service set. Breakwater is not an ESG-focused manager and does not claim multi-state adviser status. Custody patterns and the presence of separate account arrangements suggest the firm uses both managed vehicles and centralized custodial platforms to implement client strategies.
