Overview

Donald W. Nicholson & Associates Ltd is an independent registered investment adviser serving individual and family clients. Founded and SEC-registered in 1999, the firm is owned and led by Donald W. Nicholson. Its advisory offer set emphasizes financial planning, discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management for individuals, small businesses and institutions, and the publication of periodicals or newsletters. Investment activity is centered on pooled public vehicles rather than concentrated individual stock positions or a broad program of third-party alternative managers. The firm runs a mix of fee structures — percentage of AUM, hourly charges and fixed fees — and operates primarily through discretionary mandates while retaining a meaningful non-discretionary tail. Donald W. Nicholson & Associates Ltd is not an active ESG investor and does not present itself as a multi-state or pension consultant adviser.
