results based communications
The Active Manager's Resource Center provides marketing assistance to Registered Investment Advisors and investment managers whose investment strategies reach beyond those of the buy-and-hold or static asset allocation practitioners. These strategies may include individual stock and sector selection, tactical allocation, dynamic allocation, sector rotation, technical analysis, hedge strategies, market timing, and other active disciplines. The Center's founder, Linda Ferentchak, has developed marketing materials and public relations programs for active managers since 1992 and has an extensive portfolio of projects on active investment approaches. Her work has been widely featured in ProActive Advisor magazine.
The majority of our work is FINRA reviewed for compliance. As a result, we are adept at with working within the constraints of FINRA and SEC requirements.
Client Focused
We bring to the table a good working knowledge of the financial markets, sound accounting and financial management backgrounds, strong communication skills and the belief that effective financial communications must also be good marketing.
There are two additional elements that distinguish Financial Communications from its competition - flexibility and a reasonable rate structure, which allow the client company to achieve quality communications that fit its budget.
We work with companies on an on-going basis or for one-time projects, in whatever capacity best fits your needs. When production costs are involved, our clients have the option of paying vendors, such as designers and printers, directly, avoiding any mark-ups. Client involvement in projects is encouraged to achieve additional economies and Financial Communications is happy to work with existing vendors as long as they provide an appropriate quality level.
