About Atlas Brown

We are a comprehensive Wealth Management firm serving the needs of high net worth families, business owners and institutions. Whether your objective is to grow your wealth or protect your wealth, we have the ability to design custom investment solutions utilizing both traditional and non-traditional investments that meet your needs.

Approach

We understand that no two clients are the same. We take the time to truly listen to your needs, understanding that your circumstances, financial goals, and future opportunities are complex, unique, and evolving. We also understand that in today’s environment, we must approach your needs with creativity and ingenuity and seek to design an investment solution that best meets your objectives. By utilizing both Traditional and Non-traditional investment we craft an investment plan that can achieve you and your family’s financial goals.

Traditional Investment Approach

At Atlas Brown, you will receive our best ideas, strategies and investment opportunities. We apply institutional-quality techniques to a multidisciplinary investment approach – including using multiple asset classes and styles, outside managers, and individual securities to create and manage a customized financial foundation for your family. Our disciplined portfolio management strategies, combined with tactical family office solutions, help us manage all aspects of your family’s wealth.

Non-Traditional Investment Approach

We feel is more important than ever to seek diversified return streams that compliment traditional investment solutions. Because of this belief, we have focused on finding alternative investment managers that offer unique and sophisticated strategies that provide investors with extremely attractive risk adjusted returns. While the managers and strategies are as diverse as the offerings in traditional investments, they all hold common characteristics that can be distilled into the following statement:

Investments that provide consistent non-correlated absolute returns through the distribution of income in strategies that we can understand

Strategies range from venture lending, solar infrastructure, longevity assets, music royalties, tax liens, private credit to name just a few. While not all the strategies may fit your particular needs we feel that everyone can benefit from considering non-traditional strategies in their overall portfolio.
