Your Firm
Osborne Partners is Your Wealth. Solved.
Osborne Partners delivers sophisticated investment management and active financial planning.
Click here to see our decade in review.
In 1937, Jack Stephenson was a partner with Dodge & Cox, and Phelps Hunter was a Portfolio Manager with Crocker Bank. Jack and Phelps had a vision to build a boutique firm that provided sophisticated institutional investment management and active financial planning for a focused group of high profile families.
Today most of Osborne’s talent is found by hiring all-stars from large institutions, and having them laser focused on their best skills. These focused team members each “wear one hat”, and work together to solve your wealth.
Your portfolio is managed by a team of experienced CFA® Charterholders (the most difficult and rigorous designation to earn in the industry), whose only responsibility is to achieve our two simple investing goals.
Your main point of contact is your own knowledgeable CFP® professional with at least a decade of experience, whose only responsibility is to truly get to know you, and educate you about your customized portfolio and active financial plan.
Over 80 years later, Osborne Partners continues the tradition of solving wealth for families and institutions. Osborne Partners continues to be a private company. Ownership has evolved from the original two founders to the diverse ownership today, which includes 14 current employees.
