Company Summary

We’re proud of our history of providing wise investment counsel and superior client service.

Unique Value Proposition
In the discovery phase, we ask a number of questions: What are your assets? What are your needs and objectives? What are your income requirements and risk tolerance? What is your investment time horizon? These questions inform the development of an effective investment strategy. This means that every Davis Rea Client has a customized investment portfolio that defines what success means to them.
Davis Rea has a deep history and extensive experience investing in a broad range of securities and asset classes, including domestic and foreign stocks and bonds as well as emerging market securities. Why? Because narrowly focused investment managers have a tendency to be completely focused – regardless of the risk/return profile—on their known investible universe. Such constraints tend to eliminate critical or contrarian thinking to the potential detriment of the investor. We are vigilant, aware of the risks of being unduly biased in any direction. As we strive to build equity in your investments, we never lose focus of the risks.
