Firm profile
FINTRXOverview
Fort Sheridan Advisors LLC is a privately held LLC that has been SEC-registered since 2009. The firm is organized as a hedge fund and serves individual and family clients, providing discretionary portfolio management as well as management for pooled vehicles and selection-of-adviser services. Its owner is an individual rather than an institutional parent. Fee arrangements are flexible and include percentage-of-AUM billing, fixed fees, commissions and performance-based fees. The firm does not identify as an active ESG investor. Investment activity tilts toward public equities and exchange-traded instruments, and the firm also operates within the hedge fund space—both as an allocator to hedge strategies and as an adviser to at least one private hedge fund it manages.
