The Rose Investment Management

The Rose Investment Management provides fee‑only investment management primarily to individuals and families, along with related retirement and trust accounts, and has on occasion provided paid and pro bono services to nonprofit and charitable organizations. The firm manages diversified portfolios, using individual securities for larger accounts and no‑load mutual funds, institutional share classes and ETFs for smaller accounts, and reported roughly $28.75 million in client assets under management at the beginning of 2024.

The firm maintains a pronounced equity bias and a long‑term holding approach, typically holding positions for an intermediate term of five to ten years and keeping portfolio turnover relatively low. Its research combines fundamental and technical analysis, is style‑agnostic (not tied strictly to growth or value), and the adviser manages client assets on a long‑only basis without using derivatives, options, or margin.

A distinctive feature of the practice is that most assets are managed non‑discretionarily: the brochure shows $28,551,260 in non‑discretionary accounts versus $200,066 in discretionary accounts, so the adviser generally seeks client approval before implementing recommendations. As a small, fee‑only firm with a concentrated client base (the brochure reports 48 clients), it emphasizes confidentiality and a formal code of ethics and relies on third‑party custodians for account custody and trade execution.
