TIA's investment expert meets with every client: there are no "sales" intermediaries. Our clients get the value they deserve from their investment management fee, because they get the guidance they need from a true expert, not simply face time with someone selling them products

A Better Model

Many individuals and organizations with complex portfolios, even at high asset levels, do not have available the professional investment management expertise that large institutions enjoy. Dr. Jonathan Tiemann founded TIA to answer this need. Building on his twenty years of high-level experience in financial analysis and investment management, TIA embodies a unique investment philosophy and implementation strategy. TIA applies academic rigor, institutional experience, precise individual analysis and the leverage of technology (bringing great cost-effectiveness) to the design and management of your unique portfolio. Dr. Tiemann -- a top investment expert -- not a salesperson, works directly for you. TIA analyzes your situation, designs your investment program, manages your portfolio, and restores your confidence.

In traditional investment organizations, the front line staff – the financial “advisors” – are primarily and functionally salespeople, often former "brokers," ordering for their clients from a narrow menu of off-the-shelf investment products. The real investment experts are remote – designing mass-produced, "ideal" portfolios that may be layered with fees (compensating deep sales and distribution networks). Those experts may not ever know you – or your advisor. They may not even work for the same firm.

TIA eliminates the sales intermediary and brings the expert to the center of the process. You discuss your situation, needs, preferences and aspirations directly with an investment expert and receive the benefit of top investment knowledge, experience and analytical power at every step. You know who is managing your investments, and he knows you and your particular needs. And because TIA’s direct approach often eliminates layers of fund managers, distribution, marketing and sales costs, your total cost may be lower, too.

Individual Focus, Institutional Discipline

TIA’s investment process begins with you, your aspirations and your unique needs. Our investment expert evaluates your time horizon and attitude toward risk – and much more. He looks at other assets such as stock options, concentrated positions, real estate holdings, business ownership and private investments. He factors in the industry exposures from your sources of income, affiliations, geography and more. From this comprehensive analysis comes a customized portfolio plan, which forms the architectural blueprint for your investments. This plan is the most important element determining the success of your investment program.

With your plan in place, TIA applies sophisticated, quantitative, institutional-caliber portfolio management techniques to carefully build and maintain your portfolio. We manage your portfolio the way large institutions manage theirs, relying on established, professional investment disciplines rather than hunches, and remaining independent of any firm’s need to support certain securities in the market. However, TIA takes it a step further, leveraging technology to streamline many complex, traditionally costly functions. The result is a portfolio that is as finely tailored and as specifically fitted to you and your needs as would be a fine, custom tailored suit -- but which is surprisingly competitive in cost.

Expertise Where You Need It

Tiemann Investment Advisors is a unique, high-end, professional investment advisory firm, founded by an investment expert, not a broker or banker. Central to the strength of TIA’s service is the background and experience of its founder, Dr. Jonathan Tiemann. Dr. Tiemann has spent nearly three decades engaged in financial analysis and investment management at the highest levels. He has developed TIA’s structured approach to bring academic sophistication, institutional professionalism and personal integrity to the management of investors’ portfolios. TIA places that experience and approach directly at your disposal. TIA concentrates its expertise first on designing the right structure for each client. Only then does TIA build the portfolio, using proven, sophisticated, quantitative portfolio construction techniques seeking the most efficient implementation of the structural design. Most ordinary advisors simply cannot marshal enough expertise to tackle that complexity throughout the process.

We know investment management, we know your portfolio and we know you.  This is the TIA difference.
