Our Services
The financial advice industry mostly organizes itself around advisors who work with clients, and money managers they allocate to. Think of money managers as manufacturers of return streams, and advisors as distributors who service end customers.
There are two main layers of fees in this system:
- Advisory fees, and
- Fund management fees
How We Do Business
Our mission is finding and delivering value. Clients invest in us to help guide investments.
Silverlight provides direct access to a variety of internally managed investment products where we employ a disciplined, empirically derived research process and we also act as a personal financial advisor. Combining these functions puts a client directly in touch with their investment decision-maker and also eliminates a traditional fee layer.
Delivering value also requires being on the right side of change. The financial services industry is rapidly evolving in ways that benefit clients. We are dedicated to a strong digital presence and employing the latest technology that enables clients to stay connected, informed, and ultimately - feel more empowered as they progress in their financial journey.

He is a trusted guide who coaches his clients to look first at life’s bigger picture and then align their financial decisions to support where they want to go. Michael and his firm take a unique and personal coaching approach that has really resonated for me and helped me to reflect upon my core values and aspirations throughout my investment journey.
Michael’s focus on guiding the "why" behind my financial decisions has been invaluable to me in helping to create a meaningful strategy that has supported both my short-term goals and my long-term dreams.
