Firm profile
FINTRXOverview
Optima Asset Management Inc. is an independent, owner-operated registered investment adviser that focuses on serving individuals and families with wealth-management and financial planning services. The firm combines portfolio management for individuals, small businesses and institutions with selection of third-party advisers, positioning itself as a capital allocator that leans on external managers where appropriate. Fee arrangements include both a percentage-of-assets model and fixed fees, and the firm reports a largely non‑discretionary mandate structure across client relationships. Investment activity is centered on publicly available pooled vehicles rather than direct concentrated stock positions; the largest portion of assets is held in mutual funds and other public funds. Optima does not identify as an active ESG investor. The firm also uses annuities in client solutions and allocates to third‑party alternative fund managers when those strategies fit client objectives. The firm earned a placement on FA Magazine’s Top RIA Firms list in 2020.
