Hi. I'm J. Lawrence Manley, Jr., a registered investment advisor with more than twenty-five years of value investing experience. I have always had a passion for investing and have been lucky enough to spend my career managing investment portfolios for pension funds, endowments, and high-net-worth families. Today, I use my institutional experience and knowledge to help individuals reach their financial goals.
Whether it is an improved living standard, building a family or charitable legacy, or just having the peace of mind that retirement will be comfortable and secure - Everyone wants to retire well. In my experience, there are two significant obstacles that must be overcome to reach your investment goals – Wall Street and Human Nature. As a private wealth manager, I help individuals overcome these obstacles and Retire Well.
For investors who believe that interest rates are too low, the stock market can be too volatile, and Wall Street doesn’t always put their interests first, I created an investment strategy, which finds the lowest-cost, lowest-risk way to meet your financial goals.
✅ We grow your wealth by building portfolios that perform well in all economic environments, reducing volatility, and preserving capital in bear markets.
✅ Unlike Wall Street’s “Traditional Blend” (a portfolio of 60% stocks and 40% bonds), our investment strategy is diversified and economically balanced, which reduces risk while maintaining reward. Additionally, we capitalize on market inefficiencies (value, size, quality, and momentum) and risk-weight our investments to enhance returns and manage risk.
I founded Manley Capital Management, LLC to employ a disciplined, institutional investment process to overcome these investment obstacles and partner with clients to grow their savings in a responsible manner that is simple yet sophisticated.
