Investment Management

Homrich Berg Family Office has a dedicated investments team focused on ensuring that we can provide an investment strategy aligned with your goals and tolerance for risk.

In addition to traditional investments in each asset class, most high net worth families utilize alternative investments to pursue superior returns - funds and strategies not available to the average smaller investor. Homrich Berg Family Office has staff dedicated to sourcing, analyzing, and performing due diligence related to alternative investments. We gain access to elite offerings from the institutional brand names as well as smaller niche players - even if these firms also have in-house wealth management services.

All investment options including alternatives are always evaluated for each individual family relative to the financial plan goals, need for liquidity, desired risk vs. return, and personal fit. We use quantitative and qualitative factors to screen our managers, and all managers are approved by our investment committee. Once chosen, we continually monitor managers, evaluate performance and make changes, as necessary.
