Jentner Global Management is a specialized division that provides institutions with investment portfolio management services, including portfolios customized specifically for endowments, foundations, and qualified retirement plans. Jentner's proven, low-cost passively-engineered investment strategy invests broadly in more than 10,000 companies on six continents, seeking to provide steadiness in good times and challenging times to earn meaningful returns over the long term. Jentner is fee-only, meaning we never earn commissions. We are a fiduciary to our clients 100% of the time, avoiding the conflicts of interest that arise from selling financial products. Without proprietary financial products or commissions, our advice is always what we believe to be in our clients' best interest. This key strength differentiates us from most investment advisory firms. Many people assume that all financial advisors must always act in their client's best interest. However, many financial advisors do not always have fiduciary responsibility to their clients. Many insurance agents, stockbrokers, and financial planners operate under a suitability standard or a best-interest standard. Because they are not fiduciaries, they can be motivated by commissions earned from selling insurance and investment products.
