A client-focused, independent firm providing risk-conscious portfolio management. We invest our clients' capital for the long term, to achieve growth and income with minimal risk.

HOGAN INVESTMENT COUNSEL

An independent firm, not beholden to a parent company. We work for our clients.

The firm's primary concern is to grow and protect our clients' capital, and the firm's structure is designed to align our objectives with those of our clients. We have no outside affiliations.

We do not believe we can time the market, but we do believe it is our job to protect our clients' capital. We are involved and responsive to market and economic conditions, and will shift tactics when we determine it appropriate.

There are differences between working with a large impersonal institution and working with a small personal advisory firm. We manage our clients' accounts directly, with the objectives and constraints set by our clients. We have the freedom and flexibility to change our asset mix or industry allocations at will.

Investment philosophy and strategy.

A large part of investment success is avoiding large losses of capital.

Philosophy

The firm strives to preserve and grow our clients' real purchasing power. Loss-avoidance is the guiding principle behind our investment philosophy. Investment decisions are made for the long term, with concern for potential loss.

Cash is considered an asset.

Strategy

Quality assets purchased at reasonable prices will provide consistent performance over time. Dividend-paying stocks and investment-grade bonds are core holdings of each portfolio. We strive to be patient and make investments when prices reflect potential for above-average returns. During times of pessimism we are looking to make investments; during times of optimism we are looking to take profits. Having cash during times of pessimism enables an investor to buy when prices are depressed.

No outside affiliations. No conflicts.

Conflict-free

Hogan Investment Counsel, LLC is independent and not beholden to a parent company's management. The firm's structure is designed to align our objectives with those of our clients, and our only concern is to grow and protect their capital.

Every quarter, clients talk with the person actually making the decisions about their money.

Our goal is a high level of client service. We recognize the important role we play in our clients' lives, and we strive to give them confidence that we have an interest in their accounts and will be available when they need us. Quarterly reviews update clients on their portfolio and our current thoughts on the market, and give them time to ask questions or raise concerns.

We pride ourselves on returning phone calls in a timely manner. Clients have our cell phone numbers and are welcome to call when they need us. And of course, clients are always welcome at the office.
