About Our Values

Our core values of discipline, risk management, and service set us apart.

Discipline

As wealth managers, we employ a 7-step process to create your financial plan. As investment managers, we use our time-tested methodology to find overlooked businesses with sustainable models that simultaneously show growth and value at a reasonable price.

Risk Management

We emphasize avoiding risk. In building your plan, we match your risk profile with recommended investments. On the investment side, risk control is baked into our discipline. By buying companies cheaper than the market, we look to mitigate market and individual company risk.

Service

Your satisfaction is paramount to us. It is of the utmost importance to us to know we are meeting your needs. As wealth managers and stewards of your assets, we mindfully focus on serving your need for an investment strategy that aligns with your goals.

About Our Name

The “Aurora” of Aurora Investment Counsel is not merely our name. It’s our commitment to you. An aurora, also called the northern lights or southern lights, is a dynamic, vibrant, unique, and colorful nighttime light show in the Earth’s sky.

An aurora is created by the complex interactions of charged particles from the Sun interacting with the Earth’s magnetic field. Just as the Sun and Earth collaborate to produce an aurora, we work closely with you to achieve your objectives.

Aurora’s wealth management services, which create your financial plan, work holistically with our investment management team, which selects and manages your investment portfolio. Together, we manage your portfolio to produce prosperity.

We aim to simplify the seemingly complex so you can have peace of mind about your financial well-being.
