About

Empirical Asset Management serves a mix of individual and high‑net‑worth clients as well as institutional entities, including retirement plans, pooled investment vehicles and other investment advisers. The firm provides discretionary investment management, retirement plan advisory and institutional consulting, and also acts as investment manager to a private pooled vehicle (the Empirical Long Short Fund, LP).

The firm’s investment process is rules‑based and largely automated (branded Rules Based Investing®), emphasizing diversified allocations implemented with ETFs, mutual funds, individual securities and occasional alternative positions. EAM applies systematic overlays and third‑party research and indices (including S&P, Trefis and Zacks) across distinct strategies — for example sector rotation, sustainable equity screens and multi‑set equity composites — with periodic rebalancing and a long‑term orientation while retaining the ability to trade for risk control.

Compared with many peers, EAM operates multiple offices, sponsors a wrap fee program for legacy clients and provides both pooled vehicle management and advisory services to other advisers, while also serving as fund sponsor/affiliate to its long‑short fund. The firm discloses the use of performance‑based fee arrangements and the Fund’s use of short sales, options and other derivatives, and its brochure focuses on investment management rather than offering standalone financial planning as a primary service.
