MIDWEST FINANCIAL STRATEGIES

Overview

Midwest Financial Strategies is an independent registered investment adviser organized as a limited liability company that serves individual and family clients. The firm operates primarily as a fee-based adviser, charging a percentage of assets under management and hourly fees for planning or ad hoc work. Its advisory services include financial planning, portfolio management for individuals and small businesses, pension consulting-type work, and selection of other advisers — a sign the firm acts as a capital allocator and will place client capital with third-party managers when appropriate. Investment activity is centered on pooled public funds and mutual funds, which make up the bulk of client portfolios. Midwest Financial Strategies appears to favor diversified mutual-fund based solutions for core equity and fixed-income exposure rather than heavy direct-stock or ETF allocations. The firm also uses annuities as part of client planning and taps third-party managers for real estate exposure. The combination of mutual funds, annuities and third-party real estate allocations suggests a model focused on diversified, professionally managed vehicles that balance liquidity and access to alternatives for clients who need them.
