Our Firm
New River Investments was founded in 2011 with the goal of providing better and more transparent investment management services. After years spent working in a myriad of jobs in traditional Broker-Dealers, the founding members came to recognize a transparent fee-only compensation model as the path of the future for the investment industry due to the surplus of intermediaries, complexity, conflicts of interest, cost opacity and regulatory burdens in the traditional brokerage industry.
The vast majority of New River Investments’ representatives liquid net worth is invested alongside our clients. We eat what we cook, so to speak. This model benefits both advisor representatives and clients. By being invested alongside our investors, we limit potential distractions and aim to reduce any potential for conflict of interest. In addition, a significant part of our compensation is through contributions to internally-managed tax-deferred retirement accounts. We believe in the work we do and we invest alongside our clients because of it.
New River Investments is transparently compensated by clients directly and exclusively according to a mutually agreed formula. We receive no sales commissions or “trails” from mutual or money market fund shares, do not mark-up margin lending rates, and never act as an intermediary in a transaction or receive any sort of compensation for order routing. As a registered investment advisor (RIA), New River Investments and all its representatives are held to a Fiduciary standard and are obligated to provide our clients with the best advice, the best execution, and the lowest costs that we can. We only work for the interest of our clients. Some of our competitors engage in what is referred to as “soft dollars,” a practice in which investment managers execute trades though broker dealers in exchange for research services. At New River Investments, costs and execution come first, and we pay for any outside research directly ourselves as opposed to through the commissions of our clients’ trades.
More information about our firm, including our registration form (Form ADV) which contains valuable information about us and our firm and all investment adviser representatives can be accessed through the SEC’s Investment Adviser Public Disclosure (IAPD) website by searching for “New River Investments”.
