What makes us different?
We work hard for you, Our methodology combines a low-cost, tax-efficient approach with ongoing active management for all account sizes. We specialize in the utilization of sophisticated option strategies most managers can’t or won’t use. Portfolio management helps us mitigate your risk and maximize your returns in uncertain markets.
Option Strategies
Most money managers follow a traditional approach to investing but these are not traditional times. You need a portfolio management firm that uses all of the tools available to help meet your objectives. R.N.Croft Financial Group has been using equity and ETF option strategies for over 25 years.
What does this mean for you?
In good markets, you benefit from equity growth, dividends and consistent cash flow from our option strategies. In challenging times, we offset market volatility and mitigate risk through market appropriate holdings and increased cash flow from the option strategies we apply.
Multiple perspectives and a team approach ensure that management decisions are vetted through an active and consistent process with the objective of seeing and exceeding the expected returns of a traditional portfolio.
Investment philosophy
We manage risk first and enhance return second, which helps you remain comfortable during challenging markets and makes it easier to stick to your goals.
We react quickly
to changing market conditions and seize opportunities when and as presented using strategies most managers don't have the expertise or experience to use.
We are disciplined
and our investment process is designed to evolve with the market. Our Investment Review Committee meets several times per week and takes multiple perspectives into consideration. This team approach ensures management decisions are well thought out and vetted through an ongoing, consistent process.
You need a portfolio management team that uses all of the tools
available to help meet your objectives.

We work with multiple Portfolio Managers at RN Croft Financial Group, and they are an integral part of helping my clients build a flexible and sustainable portfolio.
The graph below shows the breakdown of how many different layers, or functionaries, are used in the mutual fund industry. Using a Portfolio Manager involves less functionaries, which can keep costs down since less money is being paid in fees and services, thus making the management of your money much more efficient.
Here are some other benefits of using a portfolio manager:
• Active Management of your investment
• Trustee Barrier between the Portfolio Manager and your money
• Fully Liquid (No Deferred Sales Charges)
• Access to the person making decisions on your portfolio based on the mandate you give them
