About Herman Schroeder, CFA

I'm Herman Schroeder, CFA, founder of Schroeder Capital Management, LLC, a fee-only registered investment adviser in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn.

I work with people sitting on cash or concentrated equity: a liquidity event, a vest, RSUs, or years of savings still in the bank. Especially in New York, where the tax drag is high and a bank wealth team is often the default. You get the principal, not a platform.

One job: compound the capital and keep the tax drag low. Simple portfolios. Tax-aware compounding. Direct access to me.

I typically work with people who have $1 million or more in investable assets, usually from equity compensation or a liquidity event. That is typical, not a minimum.

CFA charterholder. MBA, University of Virginia Darden School of Business, 2014. UK ACA.

Straight answers on concentrated stock and taxes, no sales pitch

I've known Herman since we were classmates at Darden. After the startup I helped run was acquired, I came to him with a set of questions about my own situation: the tax consequences of the transaction, what to do with the proceeds and how to get the most out of my HSA. He answered every one directly and in plain English, with no pitch attached. Two things stood out. He was independent: he never steered me toward a product and he was candid, telling me plainly what he thought I should and shouldn't do. If a former colleague came to me with a pile of vested RSUs, or most of their net worth tied up in a few stocks, Herman is the person I'd send them to. He thinks about after-tax outcomes first, and he explains his reasoning clearly enough that you can judge it for yourself.
