Overview

Highland Associates Inc. is a corporate investment adviser that concentrates on institutional clients, combining discretionary portfolio management with advisory and consulting services. The firm provides portfolio management for individuals, small businesses, pooled investment vehicles and institutional entities, and it also offers pension consulting and manager selection. Fee arrangements include both percentage-of-AUM and fixed-fee schedules, reflecting a mix of ongoing investment mandates and advisory engagements. Investment activity is weighted toward public funds and mutual funds, but the firm also sponsors and manages pooled vehicles and acts as a sponsor or general partner on certain structures. Highland Associates Inc. maintains industry relationships across broker-dealers, other advisers and banking institutions, which supports both custody arrangements and access to third-party managers. The adviser has been SEC-registered since 1987 and reports a client base that is largely institutional in nature.
