Meet Herman Schroeder
Founder & Fee-Only Fiduciary Cobble Hill, Brooklyn
I am Herman Schroeder, CFA, founder of Schroeder Capital Management, LLC, an independent, fee-only Registered Investment Adviser based in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn.
I help people with concentrated wealth — RSUs, equity compensation, or capital from a liquidity event — actually compound it.
The focus is simple: stay invested, avoid unnecessary interference, and capture the legitimate tax edges available. No planning theater. No product pushing. Direct access to me.
Most clients come with a clear situation: a large equity position, a recent liquidity event, or significant capital that has never been properly structured.
My job is to put a clean, tax-efficient structure around that capital so it can compound over time
Background
Before founding Schroeder Capital in 2017, I spent over a decade in institutional finance across London, New York, and overseas — including equity research, credit, auditing at KPMG, and investment banking at UBS.
That experience taught me the value of rigorous analysis, capital preservation, and removing unnecessary complexity.
I bring the same institutional discipline to personal wealth management, with one important difference: you work directly with me.
Education & Credentials
Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA®) charterholder.
Associate Chartered Accountant (ACA), ICAEW.
MBA: Darden School of Business at the University of Virginia (Specializations in Asset Management, Private Equity, and Finance).
M.A. in Economics and Accounting: University of Edinburgh.
How I work
Fee-only. Fiduciary. No commissions, no product sales, no third-party incentives. I live in Brooklyn and work with clients locally and virtually across the United States.
The goal is straightforward: protect the compounding math and keep the structure simple enough that clients do not interfere with it.
