Our Approach
The unique characteristics we bring to our business
Blume Capital was founded 30 years ago on a simple proposition: provide expert investment advice in a welcoming environment, absent the conflicts of interest often found in larger financial institutions (e.g. selling financial products).
We are proud that as we have grown, the core principles of our business have not changed.
- We focus on our clients as individuals and have an established record of developing successful, long-term relationships. Many of our clients have been with us for more than 30 years.
- We value transparency as well as clear and direct communication. It is critical that clients are secure in the knowledge that their interests always come first.
- We offer our clients a range and depth of investing capabilities that exceed what one typically finds in a firm our size.
- We cultivate a personal setting that facilitates working closely with clients, advising on all aspects of their financial life.
- We invest in the same securities as our clients. Aligning our interests with those of our clients is fundamental to how we run our business.
- We will not accept sales fees or commissions of any kind, nor do we sell financial products. We are compensated only by the management fees paid to us by our clients.
- We are proud that most of our team members have been with us for 10+ years. A hallmark of successful investment firms is the ability to attract and retain talent.
- We effectively leverage and make a significant ongoing investment in technology.
