Overview

Kaizen Financial Strategies, LLC is an independent, individually owned Registered Investment Adviser that registered with the SEC in 2018. The firm focuses on financial planning and portfolio management for individuals, small businesses and institutions, and it also provides pension consulting. Client relationships are primarily fee-based, using a mix of percentage-of-assets, hourly charges and fixed-fee arrangements. Kaizen indicates it incorporates environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into its investment approach. The firm is not a capital allocator; instead it appears to work with external managers and pooled vehicles to gain exposure beyond public markets. Its client base is concentrated on individuals and families rather than endowments or large institutional mandates.
