Firm profile

FINTRX

Overview

Kessler Investment Group, LLC is an independent registered investment adviser that manages portfolios primarily for individual and family clients. The firm favors liquid equity exposure, with a clear tilt toward exchange-traded equities and concentrated public-stock positions, while supplementing portfolios with ETFs for diversification. Advisory services center on financial planning and portfolio management for individuals and small businesses; fee arrangements include percentage-of-AUM and fixed-fee engagements. The firm does not position itself as a multi-state or pension consultant and is not an active ESG investor. Investment activity indicates a pragmatic blend of individual-stock selection and broad-market ETF allocations, suggesting a manager-driven equity approach rather than model-only or index-only implementation. Kessler uses third-party alternative fund managers for private placements and real estate exposure rather than operating its own private funds.
