Overview

Sanders Morris LLC is an independent registered investment adviser organized as an LLC and SEC-registered since 2006. The firm serves individual and family clients and functions as a capital allocator, combining advisory services with broker-dealer and insurance activities. Its advisory scope covers financial planning and discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management for individuals, pooled vehicles, businesses and institutions, along with pension consulting and selecting third-party managers. The firm’s fee arrangements include asset‑based fees, fixed fees and performance‑based fees. Sanders Morris does not identify as an active ESG investor. The firm’s lines of business extend beyond pure advisory work: it operates as a broker-dealer/registered representative channel and an insurance broker, and its industry affiliations indicate relationships with banking or thrift institutions, accounting firms, insurance companies and roles as sponsor or managing member of pooled investment vehicles. Those affiliations support a mix of managed accounts and externally managed pooled vehicles in client programs.
