San Francisco, October 20, 2011—Starmont Asset Management LLC, an independent wealth advisory and investment management company, announced today that it will participate in the advertising campaign being launched by Charles Schwab & Co. to promote registered investment advisors (RiAs). 

Charles Schwab already has placed its campaign banners on the websites of the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Bloomberg, Economist and Atlantic, using the special Schwab RiA Logo that Schwab has developed for this campaign.  And this weekend (October 22-23) Schwab will run a two page ad in the Wall Street Journal print and electronic editions touting the use of RiAs by investors.

Said Harvey Rowen, CEO of Starmont, “We will be communicating with our Clients about this campaign using the RiA Logo.  We also will be developing a special section on the Starmont website for information Schwab has developed about the benefits RIAs provide to investors.” 

Mr. Rowen, former President of the Charles Schwab Trust Company, continued,  “Starmont houses our Clients’ assets with Charles Schwab. We are delighted that they have decided to make a considerable effort to educate investors about RiAs and how they differ from other investment advice providers.”

Starmont Asset Management is an independent wealth advisory and investment management company serving affluent individuals and families, and their businesses.  Its goal is to preserve and grow its Clients’ net worth by constructing and managing a diversified tax sensitive investment portfolio, using traditional and “alternative” investments, and by providing ongoing advice to its Clients on all matters impacting their financial affairs over the course of their relationship with Starmont.
