Friedberg Investment Management, Inc. (FIM) is an independent, fee-based, money management firm. We are not affiliated with any brokerage firm, mutual fund organization, financial planning firm or insurance company, and we do not charge commissions. We are, therefore, free to make what we deem to be the best investment decisions for each of our clients.

Investment management is not so much the management of money as it is the management of risk. Most investors take either too much risk or too little. At FIM, we believe the challenge is to invest each client's dollars to obtain the highest possible return commensurate with the degree of risk each client is willing and able to assume. For some clients, this means seeking long term growth in the stock market. For others, it means earning substantial interest or dividend income without significant risk to principal.

FIM manages each portfolio separately--there is no commingling or pooling of funds. FIM does not take custody of a client's funds or securities. We simply establish accounts at fully insured brokerage firms that offer our clients discounted commissions, and we manage these accounts through limited power-of-attorney. We issue a statement every month showing profit or loss, as well as holdings. We are accessible to our clients every day.

FIM has an excellent long term performance history and access to discounted brokerage commissions. But, most importantly, each investor has a direct, one-on-one relationship with Jeff Friedberg, the person making the investment decisions. This is the critical ingredient in building and maintaining the appropriate portfolio for each investor.

Friedberg possesses a depth of knowledge about investing that is rare in the investment community and which is reflected in the performance history of FIM. He has made numerous appearances on radio stations in Houston, and has been quoted in Houston newspapers. He has, in the past, been a regular contributor to the Main Street Economics newsletter.
