James I. Black & Company

Overview

James I. Black & Company is a small, client-facing broker-dealer that provides financial planning and portfolio management for individuals and small businesses. The firm is organized as a corporation and operates under an independent broker-dealer model with qualified custodian arrangements. Investment activity is tilted toward equity exposure, with the firm's filings showing a clear preference for non-exchange traded equity positions rather than traditional long-only public equity mandates. Advisory work is delivered on a largely non-discretionary basis: the firm combines percentage-of-AUM, hourly, fixed-fee and other billing approaches. It also participates in sponsor/GP roles for pooled investment vehicles, which suggests the firm can both place clients into third-party products and act as an issuer or manager for proprietary pooled investments. James I. Black & Company is not positioned as an ESG-focused manager and is structured to serve a geographically limited client base rather than operating as a multi-state adviser.
