Firm profile
FINTRXOverview
Financial Designs Corporation is an independent registered investment adviser that positions itself as a planning- and portfolio-focused RIA serving individuals, families and some institutional clients. The firm combines traditional financial planning and portfolio management for individuals and small businesses with a fee model that includes percentage-of-AUM billing as well as hourly and fixed-fee arrangements. Investment activity centers on pooled public funds and mutual funds—particularly broad-market ETFs—while the firm also uses third-party alternative managers for specific allocations. The adviser does not present itself as an ESG-driven investor. Portfolio construction appears to favor a core built from low-cost, broad-market vehicles supplemented by targeted exposures. Public funds dominate the firm’s footprint, but the investment program also integrates hedge fund and real estate allocations alongside insurance-based solutions such as annuities.
