What Our Clients Have to Say

“I have been with MacNicol & Associates since 2007 and can, without reservation, attest to the capability of this firm. The market has been through some peaks and valleys, but David and his staff have always remained solid and innovative. I am very pleased with the returns on my portfolio, but more importantly value David’s transparency and regular communication with me. No major moves are done without explanation first and my consent. Portfolio status and strategy are reviewed on a regular basis. The associate staff has always been very responsive and easy to deal with.

I am not in the financial field and and this means that I essentially have to put my trust in this firm. I didn’t simply hand over my trust however..They have earned it.”

— Dr. T.M.

    • Advisory services are provided by MacNicol & Associates Asset Management. The firm is registered as an investment advisor with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and only conducts business in states where it is properly registered or is excluded from registration requirements. Registration is not an endorsement of the firm by securities regulators and does not mean the adviser has achieved a specific level of skill or ability.
    • You should consult with a professional advisor before implementing any strategies discussed. All investments and strategies have the potential for profit or loss. Different types of investments involve higher and lower levels of risk. There is no guarantee that a specific investment or strategy will be suitable or profitable for an investor’s portfolio. Historical performance returns for investment indexes and/or categories, usually do not deduct transaction and/or custodial charges or an advisory fee, which would decrease historical performance results. There are no assurances that a portfolio will match or exceed any particular benchmark.
    • Alternative investments are speculative and involve a high degree of risk. Investors could lose all or a substantial portion of their investment. Investments may be illiquid, and there may be significant restrictions on transfers. Alternative investments may be leveraged, and their performance may be volatile. These investments may involve complex tax structures.
    • Model returns have inherent limitations, especially the fact that they do not represent the performance of any particular client. Actual clients’ accounts may be managed differently in response to changes in economic conditions, account restrictions, and/or the client’s investment objectives. Hypothetical performance results may not be as reliable as actual returns from clients’ accounts. All results are presented net-of-fees and include dividends and capital gains.
    • In constructing actual portfolios for clients, we might deviate from the asset allocation and investments utilized in this model. Asset allocation and diversification do not assure or guarantee better performance and cannot eliminate the risk of investment losses.
    • The MAAM Pro Equity Model was developed, evaluated, and backtested by MacNicol & Associates Asset Management US, LLC. Results for the overall model are backtested and are net of all fees that will be charged to a client. Investing involves risks, including the potential loss of principal. The model that gave rise to these backtested performance results is one that the adviser is now using in managing clients’ accounts. All figures in this deck are net of all fees, and expenses.
