SCA was founded on a mutual conviction that the client should always come first. Being a small, independent advisor was appealing for the flexibility and customization it allows, but also the alleviation of many conflicts of interest. One of the largest conflicts of interest we sought to minimize was capturing the whole of someone’s wealth in products managed by only one manager. Asset managers have certain areas of the market, asset classes, and strategies they focus on and excel at investing in. We believe it is in our clients’ best interest to find the best solution in the area we are seeking to allocate capital. This led to our conscious decision not to have our own proprietary products.
