With roots going back to 1971, Marc J. Lane Wealth Group™ is comprised of The Law Offices of Marc J. Lane, a Professional Corporation; Marc J. Lane Investment Management, Inc.; Marc J. Lane & Company; and Marc J. Lane Risk Management, Inc.

Marc J. Lane Wealth Group™ is widely recognized for excellence. Our professionals include attorneys, Chartered Financial Analyst, Certified Public Accountants and financial planners.

Marc J. Lane Investment Management, Inc. offers professionally managed portfolios using a disciplined investment process to achieve each client’s specific financial objectives.

Our investment philosophy centers on the customization of each investor’s portfolio, working collaboratively with them to arrive at objective conclusions about the critical issues they and/or their organizations face.

Next, we assess the client’s risk tolerance, cash flow requirements, time horizon, tax considerations, and expectations for long-term portfolio growth. This information is then utilized to determine the appropriate mix of stocks, bonds and cash equivalents held in each of our client’s accounts.

Our clients realize that any participation in the stock market carries with it a certain amount of risk. While neither risk nor volatility can be eliminated from stock market investments, we believe that both can at least be mitigated by means of prudent and professional management.

Portfolio Management

For clients with investable assets of over $500,000 we offer a fully customized portfolio solution where both common stock and fixed income securities are managed pursuant to agreed upon asset allocation targets. A portfolio of 30 to 35 individual common stocks is actively managed, strategically targeting those economic sectors our Investment Committee deems favorable. This fully diversified large cap equity portfolio strategy is then augmented by a number of ETF positions as a means of gaining access to additional equity market segments. This equity approach is then combined with a laddered maturity fixed income strategy. Tax appropriate, individual fixed income securities are utilized with maturities spaced, or laddered, over an agreed upon time frame. For socially responsible investors with over $500,000 we offer the Advocacy Investing® approach. This methodology employs a positive “best in class” portfolio screening strategy that, after first identifying companies with sound business fundamentals and solid corporate governance, screens those companies for corporate behavior that reflects and promotes the investor’s personal beliefs and values. The firm’s strategy is particularly appealing to individuals and organizations unwilling to sacrifice investment performance as they back socially and environmentally responsible companies. For clients with investable assets of between $200,000 and $500,000, we have developed an ETF based, portfolio management solution.These portfolios strategically target a broad range of market sectors, actively managing sector and subsector exposure through the use of a wide range of ETF products. Consequently, these portfolios benefit from the same sector allocation analysis that our higher balance portfolios do.
