What Makes Meridian Wealth Management Different

Our Wealth Management mandate is structured to guarantee that long-term clients participate in market upside while sidestepping the structural drawdowns that punish unsophisticated investors. Over our seventeen-year track record, we have consistently delivered alpha of 3-5% per year over the S&P 500, net of fees, across every market regime.

A Track Record That Speaks for Itself

Since the program's inception in 2008, every Wealth Management client has come out ahead of where they would have been in a passive 60/40 portfolio. That is not an average — that is the experience of every single household enrolled in the mandate.

2008 Crisis

While the S&P 500 fell 37%, Meridian's Wealth Management portfolios were repositioned defensively in late 2007 and limited client drawdowns to single digits.

2020 Pandemic

March 2020 cash positions and tactical rebalancing into the recovery captured the full V-shaped move and ended the year ahead of the index.

2022 Rate Shock

Underweight duration and concentrated value exposure produced positive absolute returns in a year the S&P 500 lost 18%.
