Mission Statement
Structure of Schnieders Capital
Schnieders Capital Management (SCM) is a horizontally integrated firm. This means we personally handle the core functions of analyzing companies, building portfolios and communicating with clients. Back office, payroll, accounting, and technology services have been outsourced to local and regional firms, all of whom have been integrated into our communications network. This structure allows our firm much greater flexibility in rendering investment advice. We have access to a broad range of research, a large inventory of bonds (both municipal and corporate) and other fixed income instruments. Furthermore, we are able to work with a number of different brokerage firms. Our prime broker is Pershing, a subsidiary of Bank of New York. Pershing has offered our clients attractive commission prices, and is one of the top brokers on the New York Stock exchange, executing approximately 3% of all daily trades on the NYSE and providing custody for over $250 billion of client assets. Pershing also clears for over 800 firms including broker dealers and Registered Investment Advisors.
Schnieders Capital Management mission is to enhance the financial well-being of individuals and institutions by creating custom tailored portfolios that meet specific needs while providing outstanding investment advice and customer service. The portfolios we create diversify risk across industry groups and across asset classes, including equities and fixed income. Our clients are primarily in the Pasadena and greater Los Angeles Basin, but we also service many clients that are geographically dispersed across the United States.
Exhaustive investment research is our key to providing clients real value in the market. Schnieders Capital Management has the resources necessary through its own computers and via access to proprietary and industry databases to which we subscribe, to perform fundamental analysis on thousands of companies across all US industries. These data points are then filtered to look at attractive valuations, earnings growth, future growth potential, earnings stability, dividends, competition, and possible future catalysts to find appropriate investments for our clients based upon their unique profile. In addition, Schnieders Capital Management has sell disciplines based on valuation, peer group performance, deteriorating fundamentals, event risk and technical factors. In
Investment Research
We feel we are somewhat unique given the size of our firm, in that we generate our own ideas, and utilize Wall Street Research as a starting point, which is then filtered through the variables we deem to be important. The end result of all this is a highly specialized firm wherein we provide a setting in which we work with our clients and make investment decisions on a personalized basis, rather than be thrown into a large corporate environment marked by answering machines and a revolving personnel.
