Overview

Ridgewood Investments is an independent registered investment adviser that functions as a capital allocator for both high-net-worth individuals and institutional clients. The firm blends discretionary portfolio management with financial planning and consulting services, and it also serves as sponsor, general partner and managing member for pooled investment vehicles it operates. Fee arrangements are flexible and include percentage-of-AUM billing alongside hourly, fixed-fee and performance-based structures, which allows Ridgewood to serve a mix of clients from single-family relationships to institutional mandates. Investment activity centers on an equity-first posture, with a clear preference for exchange-traded instruments. The firm maintains active stock and ETF sleeves while allocating a material portion of resources to private and third-party alternative managers. Ridgewood does not self-identify as an active ESG investor. Its advisory scope covers portfolio management for individuals and small businesses, portfolio management for businesses or institutions, pension consulting and the selection of other advisers.
