Downtown Investment Advisory (DIA) is an independent Registered Investment Advisory firm serving two primary groups of clients: (1) those seeking income-oriented and capital-preservation strategies, with particular expertise in fixed-income investing, and (2) younger professionals and families pursuing long-term growth and balanced income strategies, including retirement planning, portfolio construction, and risk management across market cycles.
For retirees and near-retirees who rely on their portfolios to support ongoing living expenses, DIA focuses on designing investment strategies that emphasize reliable income, risk management, and capital stability. At the same time, the firm works with younger clients to build disciplined, long-term portfolios that balance growth and income, adapt as careers and families evolve, and remain resilient through changing market environments.
Founded in 2013, DIA is an SEC-registered investment advisory firm based in White Plains, New York, managing over $130 million in assets for individuals, high-net-worth families, and charitable foundations. Client assets are held with Charles Schwab, a leading third-party custodian, ensuring transparency and independent custody. As an independent firm, DIA does not sell proprietary products, earn commissions, or receive incentives to place clients in “house” investments. The firm operates under a fiduciary standard, meaning client interests must always come first.
Beyond investment management, DIA provides various services for seniors and their families, including late-stage financial planning, coordination with tax professionals, acting under power of attorney, trustee or executor services, and guidance through complex financial transitions. The firm’s principal is a Certified Senior Advisor, reflecting specialized training and experience in addressing the financial and planning needs of older clients.
