Overview

Mariner operates as an independent registered investment adviser established in 2006 and organized as a limited liability company. The firm positions itself as a capital allocator serving both individual/family and institutional clients. Its advisory mix includes financial planning, portfolio management across individual, pooled, business and institutional mandates, selection of other advisers, publication of investment-related periodicals, and educational workshops. Fee arrangements are flexible and include percentage-of-AUM billing as well as hourly and fixed-fee engagements. The firm reports a broad set of industry affiliations — including broker-dealer, trust company, insurance company and sponsor or GP roles for pooled vehicles — and lists accounting among its business activities. Mariner is not flagged as an active ESG investor. Mariner has been recognized in industry rankings: appearances on Barron’s Top 100 RIA lists (2021–2023), inclusion in Forbes’ RIA rankings (2023–2024), and a 2020 mention in FA Magazine.
