"Butensky & Cohen's Service?  A Night's Sleep"  -  Continued

“Building trust and confidence is the name of the game,” Butensky stressed, “along with integrity and honesty. We concluded the best way to do that was to be on our own. In big firms, the pressure to generate commissions and profits is overwhelming, and prompt decisions that don’t always help clients.”

A fee-based firm, Butensky & Cohen’s compensation is tied directly to the performance of the portfolios they manage. The number of referrals they receive from existing clients attests to the quality of their performance.

So, too, does the fact that they serve as expert witnesses in securities arbitration cases initiated by investors against other firms.

“Mind you, we’re not brokers or stock-pickers,” Butensky stressed, “but advisors who are given discretionary power to make investment decisions in our client’s behalf.” Coordinating their efforts with clients’ attorneys and CPAs is among their customary services.

Their top-down strategy divides the investment world into macro groups, which are further subdivided into industries and, in turn, individual companies. For the most part, they buy individual stocks and bonds, and avoid mutual funds.

“What we really give a client, “Cohen observed, “is a good night’s sleep.” So he and his partner can sleep comfortably, too.
