Boardwalk is a Certified B Corporation, meaning that we incorporate a “triple bottom line” (people, planet, profit) into everything we do.
Our mission is to manage portfolios for investors who want to connect their assets with their values and their personal brand – without sacrificing financial returns.
Experienced wealth management, with social impact
Boardwalk Capital Management brings together traditional disciplines of investment management and wealth planning with a social impact implementation.
Our principals have decades of experience in private banking, real estate, private equity, investment banking, hedge funds and mutual funds management. We bring that perspective, and many market cycles, to each client relationship. We also bring unique expertise in social impact and sustainable investing, enabling us to tailor each client’ investments to their specific values.
As a Registered Investment Advisor, Boardwalk Capital proudly accepts its role as a fiduciary in the careful management of your wealth. We are also governed by our own Code of Ethics, and those of the CFA Institute, charging us to act with integrity and transparency, always placing client interests first.
Investment Strategy
Each client has a unique set of needs and objectives. So, we work diligently to understand these fully for each engagement.
Using both quantitative and qualitative analyses, we create for each client a custom-tailored investment program that is designed to achieve their financial objectives with the lowest possible volatility. This strategic portfolio is the “core” allocation that we then tailor to meet the client’s social aims. In this implementation phase, we add both tactical and satellite investments to exploit short-term market opportunities and trends.
Management costs and taxes greatly impact client returns over time, so our investment process emphasizes the superior structure of low-cost ETFs and index vehicles to implement a highly-diversified global portfolio strategy.
For larger relationships, Boardwalk-managed equity portfolios permit a greater degree of customization. All portfolios are low turnover and are managed in a tax-sensitive manner. We favor companies who are sustainability leaders versus their peers, believing strongly that this predicts future prosperity. Each holding must also meet strict financial strength criteria in order to provide a greater margin of safety in economic downturns. Portfolios are constructed to mirror the sector and country exposures of the underlying index, ensuring that the performance will be consistent with broader market returns.

Unique Portfolio Construction
Clients hire Boardwalk to provide investment management that goes beyond that of a typical advisory firm. Our research focuses on finding investments that have social impact and competitive returns. Our portfolios reflect that objective, incorporating assets whose returns are not highly correlated, thus reducing overall portfolio volatility.

Quality of life bonds – Municipal bonds to finance schools, water, green space, health care, environment initiatives.
Microfinance – Small loans to micro-entrepreneurs, typically in emerging economies.
Renewable Energy – Ownership of solar and wind facilities, delivering strong cash flows to investors.
Real Estate – Social impact-focused. Brownfield remediation, organic farmland conversion, multi-family housing.
Social lending – For non-profits, green and social entrepreneurship.
Sustainability Leaders Equity Strategy
Investing in stocks that have superior financial and sustainability characteristics may offer investors above average total returns and a reduction of overall portfolio risk.
We begin by identifying companies with the following criteria:
Large cap: $10bn+ market cap)
Sustainability leaders: Top 50% of CSRHub database vs. industry peers
Financial strength -- C or higher by Morningstar
Foreign shares – Listed on US exchange
Trading Volume – Minimum $500,000/day
With these rankings and any client-directed industry exclusions, we construct 50 and 100-stock (equal weighted) portfolios that are sector and country neutral versus the underlying benchmark domestic or global equity benchmark.
The resulting portfolios are comprised of fundamentally strong, sustainability leading companies across a wide range of sectors, industries and countries, delivering a better footprint and competitive performance.
