I made mistakes during the 25 years of managing an investment management firm. In retrospect, one of the biggest was time management. I did NOT differentiate between large and small. It didn't matter who paid us higher fees versus those who did not. If you had a problem, no matter the size, it was a problem we would sort out.
One aspect of our success had
nothing to do with money. The bottom line isn't measured in
dollars and cents. We never forgot where we came from. Unlike most of the major firms we never told a prospective client of Chippewa Partners that we
had a minimum account size. And never would.
Why would Dean Parisian, raised
in the poorest county in America on the Pine Ridge Reservation, tell someone
they’re too “small” to get world-class investment help?
Since our inception in 1993 we
never discriminated against anyone for having a “small” account and welcomed
investors of all colors, sexual preferences, races and Native American tribes
to become a client of the firm.
