Root Financial Partners Portfolio holdings
Root Financial Partners is a financial planning and investment firm focused on retirement, started by its founder and chief executive, James Conole. Portfolios are built mainly from low-cost, broadly diversified index and systematic strategies, and the firm avoids stock picking and tactical bets on sectors, themes or countries. Each household also gets Root Reserves, a funded runway of high-quality, shorter-term assets set aside to cover roughly five years of spending from the portfolio. Its planning process is called the Sequoia System, and it works with clients mostly remotely across the United States.
