About Herman Schroeder, CFA
I’m Herman Schroeder, a CFA charterholder and the founder of Schroeder Capital Management, LLC, a fee-only Registered Investment Adviser (RIA) based in New York City. With over 20 years of experience in the finance industry, I’ve dedicated my career to helping individuals and families build, preserve, and grow their wealth through disciplined, research-driven strategies—always putting clients’ best interests first as a fiduciary.My approach is rooted in concentrated contrarian value investing. I focus on identifying high-quality opportunities where the market may be overlooking long-term potential, while maintaining rigorous risk management to protect what you’ve worked hard to achieve.
As a fee-only advisor, my compensation comes solely from the transparent percentage-of-assets fees you pay directly—no commissions, no hidden incentives, and no conflicts of interest from product sales.
I founded Schroeder Capital Management to create a better way forward for clients who value independence, transparency, and thoughtful portfolio management. Whether you’re navigating retirement planning, wealth accumulation, market volatility, or complex investment decisions, I partner with you to align your portfolio with your unique goals, timeline, and risk tolerance.
Beyond the numbers, I believe financial advice should reduce stress and provide clarity—so you can focus on what matters most in life. I serve clients nationwide (with a special connection to those in the New York area), and I’m committed to clear communication, ongoing education, and proactive guidance in an ever-changing financial landscape.
If you’re seeking a trusted, independent partner for your financial journey, I’d welcome the opportunity to connect and discuss how I can help. Feel free to reach out to schedule an introductory conversation.

We Want Your Voice to be Heard
Wealthtender exists to help people discover trusted and authentic financial professionals and educators who may be a good fit based on their unique needs and circumstances.
Your honest reviews help people decide which financial professionals and educators may be best suited to their individual needs.
The majority of people trust reviews as much as personal recommendations, so what you write in your review should reflect your own opinion and experience.
Tips for Writing a Helpful Review
Be descriptive. Instead of just saying what you like or dislike, share why. What have you enjoyed most or least about your experience with the provider? Have they helped you overcome a difficult financial challenge or strengthened your knowledge about particular money matters? The more details, the better!
Be honest. Your rating and review should reflect your actual experience.
Stay relevant. Ensure your review is helpful to others by avoiding off-topic discussions or personal opinions not relevant to your direct experience.
Make your review easy to read. Reviews should be readable to others. Use proper grammar, avoid excessive capitalization or punctuation, and be sure to check your spelling.
Be yourself. Don’t post as, or pretend to be, someone else, and do not say you’re associated with a person or organization with which you are not.
Be nice. Don’t write abusive, hateful, threatening, or harassing content. Avoid personal threats, hate speech, obscenities, or inflammatory language.
Respect the privacy of others. Don’t post information that can be used to identify another individual or compromise their privacy.
