Our Investment Process
We practice Authentic Investing, which means applying discipline, patience, and smart strategies in the constant pursuit of risk management and strong return potential. Our commitment is simple: We are investing your money the way we invest our own.
What Sets Us Apart
Real Investment Experience
Our team includes CFAs and CPAs who follow primary academic research, test theories, and understand the tax impact financial decisions have on your money. (Yes, we’re nerdy like that.)
Financial Consulting
Talk to us – we’re your informal resource for estate planning, financial planning, tax issues, and other money management concerns when you need to strategize without the meter running.
Factor Based Approach
No affiliation with any broker/dealer, a zero commission model, and no third-party remuneration mean a decreased risk of bias to our advice. We work for you. And you only.
Fee Only Investment Advisors
When you’re taking investment risks (no matter how managed the risk is), you deserve to reap the returns, too. Highly competitive fees and low-cost investment funds mean your money stays with you. Where it belongs.
Secure Management
The same firm managing and holding your investments increases the risk of misconduct. We keep your investments secure and balanced by working with large custodians like Charles Schwab.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Armbruster Capital different from other wealth management firms?
We’re an independent, fee-only advisory firm. That means no broker-dealer affiliations, no third-party commissions, and no product quotas influencing our recommendations. Our team of CFA and CPA professionals builds evidence-based portfolios grounded in decades of academic research, helping clients stay focused on long-term goals rather than short-term market trends.
Is Armbruster Capital a fiduciary?
Yes. We are a fee-only fiduciary, which means your interests come first, always. No third-party commissions, no product sales, and no hidden compensation. Just objective advice designed to help you make better financial decisions.
Who does Armbruster Capital work with?
We serve individuals and families, foundations and endowments, businesses sponsoring 401(k) and 403(b) plans, corporations, and financial advisors seeking outsourced portfolio management. While every client’s needs are different, our approach remains the same: independent, evidence-based advice delivered under a fiduciary standard.
How are your fees structured?
As a fee-only advisor, we are compensated solely by our clients. We do not receive third-party commissions, referral fees, or compensation for selling financial products. Our advisory fee is 0.60% on the first $3 million of assets under management and 0.40% on assets above $3 million.
Where is Armbruster Capital located, and do you work with clients outside New York?
Armbruster Capital is headquartered in Pittsford, New York, and serves clients across the country. Through secure technology, virtual meetings, and regular communication, we provide the same personalized guidance and fiduciary care regardless of where you live.
