About Us

Devonshire Asset Management

Devonshire Asset Management, Inc. was founded to address the complexity of contemporary wealth management. We are fee-only advisors and as such have no financial relationships with any brokerage firms, mutual fund companies, or money managers; the only compensation we receive is from our clients. We offer objective advice and solutions based solely on the goals, needs and preferences of our clients. As fiduciaries of the public trust we are required by law to place our clients' interests ahead of our own and to disclose any conflicts of interest. We would not have it any other way.

The considerable experience of our management team headed by co-founders Hal Richardson and Tom Wade, as institutional investors, asset allocators, and financial advisors provides a distinct advantage in designing and implementing custom-tailored wealth management strategies for each family we serve.
