Ascent serves clients from the mass affluent to the truly high net worth with the goal of exceptional service. Our client-centric focus includes the recognition that no two investors are alike, so we offer the ability to customize portfolios to meet individual goals and needs. Putting our clients first in everything we do is how we will achieve our long-term ascent together.
Ascent Investment Partners was formed to meet the unique needs of fixed income investors. Because safety and stability are the primary reasons investors include a fixed income allocation in their portfolio, we carefully balance risk and after-tax return in every investment decision. Our approach is slow and steady, research-driven and disciplined.
Since Ascent is singularly focused on the fixed income markets, we can uncover opportunities to add value while also determining when a trade is cost-efficient. We never sacrifice credit quality for incremental yield and always seek a competitive total return within the context of a conservative risk tolerance.
Ascent was established in partnership with Mariner Holdings, LLC of Leawood, KS. Mariner was founded in 2006 by former A.G. Edwards investment professionals and management staff as an independent investment company focused on wealth and asset management. Mariner provides key administrative, accounting, legal, compliance, technology, and operational/back office support to Ascent.
