Biography


“It’s such a simple idea. It’s the Golden Rule. You want to deliver to the world what you would want to buy if you were on the other end.” – Charles Munger For over 30 years, Jacobi Capital Management has been providing independent investment advice to families, individuals and businesses to create investment strategies to help them reach their goals and optimize the probability of success. We strive to listen to every client carefully and thoughtfully, to consider their objectives and risk parameters, and to deliver on their unique goals. We take our role as trusted advisor seriously and have adopted The Jacobi Method ™ to help us maintain our course. To execute a strategy on your behalf, we ask the question, “What if…then what?” to think through the possible blind spots. As a Registered Investment Adviser, we always act as a fiduciary with the golden rule encompassing the philosophy and foundation of our business. We actively seek to deliver the same advice, investment management and education that we deliver to ourselves and our own families. We hold ourselves to the highest standards, striving to serve clients in ways which are relevant to their distinct needs. We approach everything we do with thoroughness, professionalism and attention to detail, while proactively providing ideas, options, answers and clarity.
