About Samalin Investment Counsel
Samalin Investment Counsel has been managing money for 25 years. We are an award-winning SEC Registered Investment Advisory firm that offers our clients what we consider to be, white glove service. Customer service is a top priority for us. With companies relying so much on technology, we still believe it is important to interact with our clients. Our entire team knows all of our clients and their goals because they are our goals.
Maybe you have thought about what you’d like from your wealth management team. If you are like our other clients, you might be looking for an alternative to ‘Big Box Investment Retailers’ with multiple agendas. Maybe you have no idea what you are looking for; either situation is fine.
As fiduciaries, we answer to you. In a financial world as complex and risk-laden as it is today, that is truly a valuable commodity. We believe clients hire us because of that unmitigated clarity. Our agenda? Yours.
