Far removed from the noise of Wall Street, Nottingham Advisors is a mid-level asset manager that takes pride in the individualized services provided to our clients.
An exchange-traded fund is an investment vehicle that trades daily on an exchange, offers intra-day liquidity, is fully transparent, and is tax efficient. ETFs track an underlying index and hold a basket of stocks, bonds, and/or alternative asset classes such as currencies, commodities, and real estate.
Contrary to popular belief, not all ETFs are created equal. Nottingham Advisors specializes in ETF due diligence and implementation, utilizing ETFs’ benefits since 2001.
Nottingham Advisors has developed investment strategies based on the core-satellite approach to asset allocation. The core-satellite approach seeks to gain core “beta” exposure with 80% of the strategy’s holdings, utilizing the remaining 20% satellite to tactically add “alpha” to the portfolio.
Nottingham Advisors utilizes both passive and active management strategies. In terms of passive management, Nottingham has been a strong believer in the power of indexing since ETFs were first used in client accounts back in 2001. We also offer an active management approach through the Nottingham Advisors Select Managers Program (NASMP).
No. Nottingham Advisors employs separately managed accounts (SMAs) that keep each individual’s assets separate. All portfolios are structured and managed to a client-specific risk and return target.

Nottingham Advisors charges a management fee based on a percentage of the client’s account value. The fee is paid in advance on a quarterly basis. See our ADV for more details on our fees.
Nottingham Advisors has a stated minimum account size of $100,000.

As an SEC registered investment adviser, Nottingham Advisors has a fiduciary duty to act in the best interest of its clients at all times. This means that we will seek to put the clients’ best interest first and act with skill, care, diligence and good judgment. In addition, we will provide full and fair disclosure of all important facts and avoid conflicts of interest.
Form ADV is the uniform form used by investment advisers to register with both the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and state securities authorities. Part 2A contains information such as the types of advisory services offered, the adviser’s fee schedule and conflicts of interest. Part 2B provides the educational and business background of management and key advisory personnel of the adviser.
